An automobile vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg . What must be the force between the vehicle and road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 ms^(-2).

Answer»

Solution :Mass of the automoblile vehile , m=1500 kg. Final velocity ,v=o
(finally the automobile stops). Acceleration of the automobile ,a=`1.7 MS^(-2)` .
From Newton.s second law of motion : force = Mass X
Acceleration `=1500 (-1.7)=-2550N`. Hence ,the force between
the automobile and the road is -2550 N , in the DIRECTION opposite to the motion of the automobile.
