Question

a motorcar is moving with a velocity of 108 km / h and it takes 4s to stop after the brakes are applied calculate the force exerted by the brakes on the motorcar if it's mass along with the passengers is 1000 kg​

Answer 1

Answer:-7500

Explanation v₀ = 108 km/h = 30 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 30 m/s) / 4 s

a = -7.5 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1000 kg) (-7.5 m/s²)

F = -7500 N

Answer 2

-7500 N

Step-by-step explanation:

v₀ = 108 km/h = 30 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 30 m/s) / 4 s

a = -7.5 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1000 kg) (-7.5 m/s²)

F = -7500 N
