Question

And you 1100 KG car comes informally to a stop if the vehicle is accelerating at -1.2 mL per second which force is closest to the net force acting on the vehicle

Answer 1

The net force acting on the vehicle is closest to -1,300 N

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, for the car that comes to rest uniformly, we have;

The mass of the car, m = 1,100 kg

The acceleration of the car, a = -1.2 m/s²

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force, 'F', which causes a body of a given mass, 'm', to accelerate by a magnitude, 'a', is given by the following formula;

F = m × a

Therefore, the net force acting on the vehicle,
`F_(NET)`, is given as follows;

`F_(NET)` = 1,100 kg × (-1.2 m/s²) = -1320 N ≈ -1,300 N

The net force acting on the vehicle,
`F_(NET)` ≈ -1,300 N
