Question

Descending from rest at the last peak (height 20 m above the ground level) on a roller-coaster track, a car, of mass 750 kg, hits at the end of a horizontal stretch of shallow water, which exerts the average braking force of 920 N. How far does the car splash through the water before it stops?

a. 210 m

b. 160 m

c. 130 m

d. 90 m

e. 50 m

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

Given:

m = mass of car = 750 kg

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s2 

h = height of last peak = 20 m

F = braking force in water = 920 N

s = distance car splashes through water before it stops = ?

Choose the correct option:

a. 210 m

b. 160 m

c. 130 m

d. 90 m

e. 50 m
