A 500 kg car is moving at 30 m/s. The driver sees a barrier ahead. If the car takes 100 m to come to rest, what is the magnitude of the force necessary to stop the car? How do you solve this question?

F = 2250 [N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first use the following equation of kinematics.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (come to rest)

Vo =  initial velocity = 30 [m/s]

a = acceleration or desaceleration [m/s²]

x = distance = 100 [m]

Now we must use the following equation of kinetics, which is based on Newton's second law that explains that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 500 [kg]

a = acceleration = 4.5 [m/s²]

i think it's 35 meters

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
