Question

A sports car of mass 1.00x103 kg can accelerate from rest to 30.0 m/s in 7.00 s. What is the average forward force on the car?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Before you can find the force, you need to find the acceleration.

Givens

vi = 0

vf = 30 m/s

t = 7 seconds

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

Solution

a = (30 - 0)/7

a = 4.28 m/s

Now you can look at the Force

F = m * a

F = 1.00*10^3 * 4.28

F = 4.28 * 10^3 N
