What force will a car hit a tree If the car has a mass of 3000kg and is accelerating at a rate of 2m/s2?
Answers
♦ Before start solving the Question we must know :-
• What is Force ?
→ It is a Push or Pull which causes Acceleration Change in direction of motion and Deceleration.
It is a vector Quantity which have both magnitude and direction .
• How to find out Force ?
→ Force can found using the Product of Mass and Acceleration of the Object
F = ma
♦ Now coming back to the Questions
→ Mass of Car = 3000 kg
→ Acceleration of Car = 2 m/s²
>> Now force
F = Mass × Acceleration
F = (3000) × (2)
F = 6000 N
♦ So the car will hit the tree with the force of 6000 N
●First of all let us start with the working formula.
To find the force, the following formula can be applied:-
F = m × a
wherein, m denotes the mass of the body, a the acceleration and F the force.
✍So mass of the car = 3000 kg
Acceleration = 2m per second sq.
So let us put the given values in the equation above.
➡️F =( 3000 × 2 )N
= 6000N
●The car will hit the tree with a force of 6000N.
