Question

a car of mass 800kg moving with a steady velocity of 15m/s. what is the net force acting on the car?justify your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE NET FORCE ACTING ON THE CAR = 1.2 X $10^{5}$ N or 12000 N

Explanation:

Given, Mass of the car (m) = 800 kg.

          Velocity of the car (v) = 15 $ms^{-1}$

From Newton's Second Law of motion,

Force (F) = Mass (m) X Acceleration (a)

=> F = m X a

=> F = 800 kg X 15 $ms^{-1}$

=> F = 12000 kg $ms^{-1}$

=> F = 12000 N

=> F = 1.2 X $10^{5}$ N

∴ the Net Force acting on the car = 12000 N or1.2 X $10^{5}$ N
