A 350 kilogram car is traveling at a constant velocity of 15 m/s. What is the net force acting on the car?

The net force acting on the car is zero.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 350 Kg

Velocity (v) = constant = 15 m/s

Net Force (F) =?

An object moving with a constant velocity is not accelerating. The acceleration of such object is zero. Thus, the net force acting on the object is also zero. This can further be explained as shown below:

Mass (m) = 350 Kg

Acceleration = 0 (since the velocity is constant)

Net Force (F) =?

Force (F) = mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

F = m × a

F = 350 × 0

F = 0

Thus, the net force acting on the car is zero.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
