A car of mass 1,000 kilograms is moving initially at the speed of 22 meters/second. When the brakes are applied, it takes the car 3.0 seconds to stop. What is the force required to stop the car?

A. 2.2 × 104 newtons
B. 2.5 × 103 newtons
C. 7.3 × 103 newtons
D. 1.4 × 103 newtons

Answer:

Force, [tex]F=7.3\times 10^3\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 22 m/s

Finally, the brakes are applied, v = 0

Time, t = 3 s

We need to find the force required to stop the car. It is given by using second law of motion as :

[tex]F=m\times a[/tex]

[tex]F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}[/tex]

[tex]F=\dfrac{1000(22)}{3}[/tex]

F = 7333.33 N

or

[tex]F=7.3\times 10^3\ N[/tex]

So, the force required to stop the car is [tex]7.3\times 10^3\ N[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
