Question

A car with a mass of 1,130.0 kg accelerates from 0 to 86.0 km/h in 10.0 s. The driver applies the brakes when the car is moving at 86.0 km/h, and the car comes to rest after traveling 38.0 m. What is the net force (in N) on the car during its deceleration? (Assume the car is traveling in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Newton's Second Law of Motion

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net external force acting on the object. Mathematically it is given as

i=1nFi=ma

The LHS is the net external force acting on an object of mass m causing an acceleration a.
