A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow down to 20 m/s. How large is the net force slowing the car

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
