A sports car of mass 1000 kg can accelerate from rest to 72. km/h in 6.6 s.
a) What would the average force of the car's engine be?
b) If the same force acts on 2000 kg car what is the acceleration.

Expert Solution

(a) Find average force

Given:

Mass of the car,

Initial velocity of the car,

Final velocity of the car,

To convert km/hr to m/s. Multiply by 1000, then divide by 3600.

Time,

Use the formula to find the acceleration

(c7p50) A 1000- kg car collides with a 1300- kg car that was initially at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. After the collision, the lighter car moves at 25.0 km/h in a direction of 25 o with respect to the positive x axis. The heavier car moves at 28 km/h at -50 o with respect to the positive x axis. What was the initial speed of the lighter car (in km/h)? Also, What was the initial...

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)= -kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the container touches the ground. and...

A toy car with a mass of 1 kg starts from rest at the top of a ramp at point A. The toy car is released from rest, rolls 2 meters down the ramp, then another 3 meters across the floor to point B where its speed is measured to be 4.24 m/s. The air exerts a resistance force of 2.0 N on the car as it moves from A to B. Find the initial height of the car at...

A train, A, with a mass of 19,000 kg is travelling at 90 km/h when it strikes a second train, B, which has a mass of 17,000 kg and is moving in the same direction at a speed of 43.2 km/h. If the coefficient of restitution for the collision is 0.87 and all resistances to motion are negligible, then (i) calculate the speed of the trains A and B immediately after the impact. (ii) as a result of damage during...
