A car moving with a speed of 180km/h to rest after 4s on applying brake, if the mass of the car including the passengers is 1000kg, what will be the force applied when brake is applied?

Solution
Initial velocity of the car u=108km/h =108×100060×60
=108×518 =30m/s Final velocity v=0 Mass m=1000kg Time t=4s
According to newton's second law F=ma F=m(v−u)t =1000(0−30)4 =−7500N The negative sign indicates that the applied force is opposite to the direction of motion.
