the driver of a three wheeler moving with aspeed of 36 km/h sees a child standing in the middle of the road and bring his vehicle to rest in 4.0s just in time to save the child . what is the average retarding force on the vehicle ? the mass of the three wheeler is 400kg and the mass of the driver is 60 kg |

Answer» ==============ⓢⓦⓘⓖⓨ ==============ⓢⓦⓘⓖⓨ U = 36 km/h V = 10 m/s t = 4 s Mass of three- wheeler, m = 400 kg Mass of the driver, m' = 65 kg Total mass of the system, M = 400 + 65 = 465 kg ▪Using the first law of motion, the acceleration (a) of the three-wheeler can be calculated as: v = u + at => a= v- u / t = (0-10)/4 = -2.5 m/s^2 ◾The NEGATIVE sign indicates that the velocity of the three-wheeler is decreasing with time. ◾Using Newton’s second law of motion, the net force acting on the three-wheeler can be calculated as: F = Ma = 465 × (–2.5) = –1162.5 N ◾The negative sign indicates that the force is acting against the direction of motion of the three-wheeler. I hope, this will HELP you___❤❤ ======================= ·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ ⓢⓦⓘⓖⓨ ♫♪♩·.¸¸.· ___________♦♦⭐♦ ♦___________ |
