1. Your car's engine suddenly dies as you're driving 35m/s down the highway. If the sum of friction forces on your car is 7000N and your car weighs 1300kg at what rate will you accelerate to a stop? |​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Frictional force = 7000 N

mass of car = 1300 kg . Initially car was moving uniformly so no force acting on car at that time . After frictional force acts , it creates deceleration or negative acceleration .

acceleration = force / mass

= - 7000 / 1300

= - 5.38 m / s²
