A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes and the car comes to a rest uniformly in a distance of 240 m. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force applied to the car to bring it to rest?

The value of F= - 830 N

Since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1000-kg

Distance, d = 240 m

Initial velocity, v1 = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity, v2 = 0 (since the car came to rest after brake was applied)

v2²= v1² + 2ad (using one of the equation of motion)

0=  20² + (2 x a x  240)

0= 400 + 480 a

a = - 400/480

a = - 0.83 m/s²

Then, imputing the value of a into

F = ma

F = 1000 kg x ( - 0.83 m/s²)

F= - 830 N

The car was driving toward the north, and since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

in physics zero. in muscle fatigue could be high
