Question
The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 1,000 kg and the car is moving 40 m/s, what magnitude force (in N) is necessary to stop the car in a distance of 860 m? (Note: First, find the acceleration of the car using Unit One material, then use this to compute the force. Since the question asks for the magnitude, input a positive answer.)

- A cabinet of mass 3.7 kg is at rest on a ramp as shown. What is the magnitude of the friction force on the cabinet, in Newtons? The coefficients of friction between the cabinet and ramp are Ps = 0.850 and uk = 0.750. Use g = 10 m/s2. (Hint: what type of friction is it?) Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. 30.0arrow_forwardConsider an object of mass m being pushed up a frictionless incline of angle theta by a force F parallel to the ground (not the incline). If the object is moving at a constant velocity, the expression for F in terms of m, g (the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, leave it as a letter), and theta is______ (The outcome that I found was F=MgTan(theta) The “not the incline” it confuses mearrow_forwardFour forces act on an object, given by A = 38.3 N east, B = 45.3 N north, C = 70.7 N west, and D = 88.7 N south.
