Answer:
F = 5702.56 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a small car, m = 800 kg
Initial speed of the car, u = 27.8 m/s
Final speed, v = 0
Time, t = 3.9 s
We need to find the force did it take for the car to stop.
The force acting on an object is given by :
[tex]F=ma\\\\F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{800\times (0-27.8)}{3.9}\\\\F=-5702.56\ N[/tex]
So, the magnitude of force acting on the car to stop is 5702.56 N.
