A truck of mass 1000 kg moving with a velocity of 40 kmh−1collides with a tree and comes to stop in 5 s. What will be the force exerted by a car on the tree?
The correct option is
A
(-) 2222 N
m = 1000 kg
u = 40 × 518 ms−1 = 1009 ms−1
v = 0; t = 5 s
F = m(v−u)t
F = 1000(0−1009)5
F = 200 ( −1009)
F = -2222.22 N
