B. The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.850 and the mass of the car is 1.35x10' kg. Draw the free body diagram of this situation and determine the applied force
that caused the acceleration from part a. (2 law: Fnet-ma)
Given:
u
בנו
Samt
g=9.8 m/s^2
am
(from part a)
Unknown:
Fapp = ?
Equation:
Fnet=ma
Fapp- umg=ma
Solution:

156.26N

Explanation:

The data needed are incomplete. Let the acceleration of the body be 3.5m/s²

Other given parameters

Mass = 1.35×10^1 = 13.5kg

coefficient of friction between the tires and the road = 0.850

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

According to Newton's second law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet = Fapp - Ff

Fapp is the applied force

Ff is the frictional force = umg

The equation becomes:

Fapp - Ff = ma

Fapp-umg = ma

Fapp - 0.85(13.5)(9.8) = 13.5(3.5)

Fapp - 109.0125 = 47.25

Fapp = 47.25+109.0125

Fapp = 156.2625N

Hence the applied force that caused the acceleration is 156.26N

Note that the acceleration of the car was assumed. Any value of acceleration can be used for the calculation.

c) up is the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge.
