Question

a car of mass 800 kg is travelling at 12m/s the car accelerates over a distance of 240 m there force causing this acceleration is 200 newton determine the work done on the car and its final velocity car

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Force X distance = work

200 N * 240 m = 48 000 N-m = 48 000 j

F = ma

200 = 800 a

a = 1/4 m/s^2

d = v t + 1/2 a t^2

12 m/s t + 1/2 1/4 m/s^2 t^2 = 240

shows t = 17 sec (via Quadratic Formula)

final velocity = 12 + at = 12 + 1/4(17) = 16.26 m/s
