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.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
