What magnitude net force is required to accelerate a 1200-kg car uniformly from 0 m/s to 27.0 m/s in 10.0 s?

Respuesta :

F= m(v-u)/t
F=1200(27-0)/10
F=3240N

Answer : Net force, F = 3240 N.

Explanation :

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Final velocity of the car, v = 027 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

Required force is given by :

F = m a

where

a is the acceleration of the car, [tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

[tex]F=1200\ kg\times \dfrac{27\ m/s}{10\ s}[/tex]

F = 3240 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.
