A car of mass 480kg moving at a speed of 54km/h is stopped by applying brakes in 10s. Calculate the force applied by the brakes.
Answer:
Given: m=480kg, initial velocity, u=54km/h or 15m/s, final velocity, v=0m/s, t=10s, F=?
We know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
∴ acceleration = (v-u)/t
= (0-15)/10
= -1.5m/s2
The negative sign shows that it is retardation.
Force = m x a
= 480 (-1.5)
= 780N
