A race car has a mass of 710 kg. It starts from rest and travels 40.0 m in 3.0 s. The car is uniformly accelerated during the entire time. What net force is exerted on it?

Answered by MathMate
First calculate the acceleration from the distance and time using the formula:
S=v0t+(1/2)at²
where
a=acceleration
S=distance
v0=initial velocity
t=time
a=2(S-v0t)/t² (assumed uniform)

Find force F from
F=ma

Thanks a lot! I got F = 6311.11 N.

F*X = KE increase = (1/2) M Vfinal^2
Vfinal = 2*Vaverage = 2*X/T =2*(40/3) = 26.67 m/s
F = (1/2)*(710)*(26.67)^2/40 = 6313 N

We agree
