A 2.7 × 103 kg car accelerates from rest under the action of two forces. One is a forward force of 1157 N provided by traction between the wheels and the road. The other is a 902 N resistive force due to various frictional forces. How far must the car travel for its speed to reach 3.6 m/s? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

The car covers a distance of 68.93 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, [tex]m=2.7\times 10^3\ kg[/tex]

Forward force acting on the car, [tex]F_1=1157\ N[/tex]

Force of friction acting on the car, [tex]f=902\ N[/tex]

The net force acting on the car is :

[tex]F=F_1-f\\\\F=1157-902\\\\F=255\ N[/tex]

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Let d is the distance covered by the car so that its speed reaches to 3.6 m/s.

Force,

[tex]F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{255}{2.7\times 10^3}\\\\a=0.094\ m/s^2[/tex]

Now using third equation of motion as :

[tex]v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(3.6)^2}{2\times 0.094}\\\\d=68.93\ m[/tex]

So, the car covers a distance of 68.93 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of car, m = 2.7 x 10^3 kg

Forward force, F = 1157 N

friction force, f = 902 N

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

final velocity, v = 3.6 m/s

According to Newton's second law

F - f = m x a

where a is the acceleration of the car

1157 - 902 = 2.7 x 10^3 x a

a = 0.094 m/s²

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

3.6 x 3.6 = 0 + 2 x 0.094 x s

s = 68.94 m
