Answer:
4.36 seconds
Explanation:
According to the question;
- Force is 550 N
- Mass of the car is 1200 kg
- Velocity of the car is 2.0 m/s
We are needed to find the time the car must the tow track pull the car.
- From Newton's second law of motion;
- Impulsive force, F = Mv÷t , where m is the mass, v is the velocity and t is the time.
Rearranging the formula;
t = mv ÷ F
Thus;
Time = (1200 kg × 2.0 m/s²) ÷ 550 N
= 4.36 seconds
Thus, the time needed to pull the car is 4.36 seconds
