Given :-
A truck of mass 5000 kg moving with a velocity of mass 90 km/h hits a wall and comes to rest in 25 second.
To Find :-
The force exerted by the car on the wall.
Analysis :-
First, find the acceleration by considering it as a variable by substituting it using the first law of motion.
Then, find the force by it's respective formula.
Solution :-
We know that,
- a = Acceleration
- v = Final velocity
- u = Initial velocity
- f = Force
- m = Mass
- t = Time
By the formula,
Given that,
Initial velocity (u) = 90 km/h = 25 m/s
Time (t) = 25 sec
As the truck comes to rest,
Final velocity (v) = 0
Substituting their values,
Finding the value of a,
Therefore, the acceleration is -1 m/s².
By the formula,
Given that,
Mass (m) = 5000 kg
Acceleration (a) = -1 m/s²
Substituting their values,
Force = 5000 × -1
Force = -5000 N
Therefore, the force exerted by the car on the wall is -5000 N.
Answer is 5000N
