A corvette ZR1 can brake to a stop from 60mph in 2.6 seconds. If the car has a weight of 3225 pounds, what force (in Newtons) acts on the car? a= (V^2 - V^1)/t a= (0-88ft/sec)/2.6 sec a= -10.316 m/s^2 -10.32N Is this correct?

A group of 4 rail cars with a total mass of 50,000kg moves at 3m/s at a stationary locomotives that has a mass of 10,000kg. What is the speed of the whole train after the cars connect with the locomotive? F=ma 50,000kg*3m/s= 150,000kg m/s 150,000kg m/s di...

A 25 gram arrow fired from a bow has a speed of 80m/s. The energy in the arrow came from work done by the bow that acted over a 1m "draw" distance. What average force acted on the arrow over this distance mass=0.025kg speed=80m/s avg force 2N

a gun converts 200J of stored energy into kinetic energy of the 0.02kg bullet. a)What is the speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun? b)If the gun is fired straight up, how high will the bullet go? a)200J b)m*g*h= (0.02kg)(10m/s^2)=200J h=100m

A car can brake to a stop from 60mph in 2.6 seconds. If the car has a weight of 3225 lbs, what force in Newton's acts on the car. F=ma, vt=v0+at, a=(vt-v0)/t=(0-60mph)/2.6s=-23.1m/s^2 3225 lbs=1462.84 kg thus F=1462.84kg*(-23.1m/s^2)=-63.3N
