Question
Gerald and Julia drove to Baguio and is resting in their car before they go to their inn.
Their parked car happens to be 15.0 m from the edge of a cliff. The car's mass, plus that
of their combined masses is 1050 kg. Julia's jealous ex-boyfriend ties an improvised rope
to their car's bumper and a 90 kg rock to the other end of the rope. He then lowers the
rock over the edge of the cliff (assume the interaction between the cliff and the rock
produce a negligible amount of friction) and the car, which is in neutral, accelerates
toward the edge. Assume the car experiences 42 N of frictional force. What is the
acceleration of the car towards the edge?
0.790 m/s^2
O 0.737 m/s^2
0.810 m/s^2
0.880 m/s^2
