Question
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 33.9 m/s in a time of 6.02 s. The mass of the car and riders is 1.64 × 103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.

Henry
Vo = 0
V = 33.9 m/s.
t = 6.02 s.
m = 1640 kg
F = ?
a = (V-Vo)/t = (33.9-0)/6.02 = 5.63 m/s^2.
F = m*a = 1640 * 5.63 = 9235 N.
V = 33.9 m/s.
t = 6.02 s.
m = 1640 kg
F = ?
a = (V-Vo)/t = (33.9-0)/6.02 = 5.63 m/s^2.
F = m*a = 1640 * 5.63 = 9235 N.
