Un auto de 1000 kg que lleva una velocidad de 72 km/h se detiene en una distancia de 100 metros cuando se le aplican los frenos. (a) ¿Cuál es la fuerza constante producida por los fre. Nos? (b) Con esta fuerza, ¿cuál seria la distancia de frena do si la velocidad hubiera sido de 36 km/h?

Answer:

a) F = 2000 N , B) x = 25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

W = ΔK

The job is

W = -F x

the negative sign is because the force of the brakes is contrary to the movement

as the car stops its final kinetic energy is zero

K = ½ m v²

let's substitute

- F x = 0 - ½ m v²

F = ½ m v² / x

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

v = 72 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 20 m / s

let's calculate

F = ½ 1000 20²/100

F = 2000 N

b) x = ½ mv2 / F

let's slow down to the SI system

v = 36 km / h = 10 m / s

let's calculate

x = ½ 1000 10²/2000

x = 25 m
