After a day of testing race cars, you decide
to take your own 1532.6 kg car onto the
test track. While moving down the track at
13.5 m/s, you suddenly accelerate to 32.8 m/s
in 11 s.
What average net force have you applied to
the car during that time?
Answer in units of N
v=v₀ +at
a=(v-v₀)/t=(32.8-13.5)/11 =1.75 m/s²
F=ma=1532.6•1.75 =2682.05 N
