mass of a motorcycle along with the passenger in 900 kg. calculate the force excreted by the brakes on the motorcar which is moving with the velocity of 108km/h and takes 5s to stop after the application of brakes
Answers
Given :
Mass of object = 900kg
Initial velocity = 108km/hr
Final velocity = zero
Time interval = 5s
To Find :
Force exerted by the brakes.
Solution :
❖ First of all we need to convert unit of velocity from km/hr to m/s.
We know that, 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/s
∴ 108 km/hr = 108 × 5/18 = 30m/s
As per newton's second law of motion, force is defined as the rate of change of linear momentum
Mathematically, F = m(v - u) / dt
- F denotes mass
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- dt denotes time
By substituting the given values;
➙ F = 900(0 - 30) / 5
➙ F = -27000/5
➙ F = -5400 N
[Negative sign shows retardation of motorcycle]
