Question

Calculate the force exerted by the brakes on the motorcar which is moving with a velocity of 72 km/h and takes 5 s to stop after the application of brakes. Mass of the motorcar along with the passengers is 800 kg.​

Answer 1

Answer:

u = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 5 s

a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{0 - 20}{5} = - 4 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Here, the - sign indicates that the body is retarding.

Mass = 800 kg.

force = mass \times acceleration

= 800 \times 4 = 3200 \: n

Therefore , the force applied by the brakes is 3200 N.
