Solution

The correct option is A $720$ $N$
$u = 54 k m p h = \frac{54 \times 1000}{3600} m / s = 15 m / s$
$v = 0$
and, $t = 10 s$
So, $a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{15 - 0}{10} = 1.5 m / s^{2}$
Mass, $M = 480 k g$
So, force: $F = 480 \times 1.5 = 720 N$

A car of mass $480 k g$ moving at a speed of $54 k m p h$ , is stopped in $10 s$ . Calculate the force applied by the brakes.

The correct option is A $720$ $N$
$u = 54 k m p h = \frac{54 \times 1000}{3600} m / s = 15 m / s$
$v = 0$
and, $t = 10 s$
So, $a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{15 - 0}{10} = 1.5 m / s^{2}$
Mass, $M = 480 k g$
So, force: $F = 480 \times 1.5 = 720 N$
