1. A 1400 kg car is moving at 15 m/s when it hits a tree and comes to rest 0.30 seconds later. How
much force does the car experience?

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 70000  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1400 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 15 m/s

Finally, it hits the ground, v = 0

Time, t= 0.3 s

We need to find the force experienced by the car. Using Newton's second law of motion to find it.

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car.

[tex]F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{1400\times (0-15)}{0.3}\\\\=-70000\ N[/tex]

So, the force experienced by the car has a magnitude of 70000  N.
