A 1000-kg sports car of mass accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 6.6 s. What is the frictional force exerted by the road on the car? Group of answer choices 1500 N 1750 N 2750 N 3000 N

Respuesta :

The frictional force exerted by the road on the car is 3000N

Given the mass of the car is 1000 kg , the velocity of the car is 20m/s

and the time is 6.6s

We need to find the frictional force exerted by the road on the car

We know that Force = mass * acceleration

Now here Mass is given but acceleration is not given

So, we will find acceleration by using the formula v = u+at

Where u = 0

v = 20m/s

a = ?

t = 6.6

Substitute the values in the formula We get

v = u+at

20 = 0+(a)(6.6)

20/6.6 = a

∴ a = 3.03 m/s^2

Rounding to nearest tenth is 3m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 3m/s^2

Now substituting the value of acceleration in F = ma

Where m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 1000*3

∴ F = 3000N

Hence the frictional force exerted by the road on the car is 3000 N
