Statement:
An 1825 kg car is moving to the right at a constant speed of 1.24 m/s.
To find out:
The net force on the car.
Solution:
- Here, it is given in the statement that the car is moving with constant speed.
- We know, acceleration is the change in speed within a time period.
- Since, here the speed is constant, so there is no change of speed.
- Therefore, there is no acceleration.
- We know, force = mass × acceleration
- Therefore, net force on the car
- = 1825 × 0
- = 0
Answer:
The net force on the car is 0.
