Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the car, m = 525 kg
Applied force, F = 375 N
The coefficient of friction felt by the car is 0.42, [tex]\mu=0.42[/tex]
(a) The weight of the car is given by :
[tex]W=mg[/tex]
[tex]W=525\times 9.8[/tex]
W = 5145 N
(b) The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion. It can be calculated as :
[tex]f=\mu mg[/tex]
[tex]f=0.42\times 5145[/tex]
f = 2160.9 N
(c) Here, the force of friction is greater than the applied force. As a result, the ball will not moves. So, the net force acting on this car is 0.
(d) As the net force acting on the car is 0. There will be no acceleration in the car.
