Physics Assignment

The document contains two physics problems involving calculating the average force and distance to stop a moving car given its initial velocity, final velocity, mass, and braking force. The first problem calculates an average force of 4500N was required to stop a 1000kg car traveling at 30m/s over 100m. The second problem finds a distance of 33.33m was needed to brake a 1500kg car going 20m/s with a 9000N braking force.

PROBLEMS:
Question No 1: A 1000 kg car is traveling along a highway at 108 km/h. If the driver immediately
applies his brakes and the car comes to rest in a distance of 100 m, what is the average force
acted upon the car during the deceleration?
V i=30 m/ s V f =0 m/s

m=1000 kg x=100 m
Solutions:
108
V i= =30 m/s
3.6
2 ax=V f 2−V i2

2 ( 100 ) a=(0)2−(30)2
200 a=−900
2
a=−4.5 m/ s
F=ma
F=1000 (−4.5 )
F=−4500 N

Question No 2: A breaking force of 9000N is used to stop a 1500kg car traveling at 20m/s. What
is the distance travelled by the car to bring the car in to a halt?
V i=20 m/ s V f =0 m/s

m=1500 kg F=9000 N
Solutions:
F=ma
9000=1500 a

a=6 m/s
