- Using the alternate form of Newton's second law, compute the force (in N) needed to accelerate a 1,100 kg car from 0 to 15 m/s in 11 s. The change in momentum is the car's momentum when traveling 15 m/s minus its momentum when going 0 m/s. (Enter the magnitude.)arrow_forwardThese are “plug-in-the-number” type activities to familiarize yon with the equations that link the concepts of physics. They are mainly one-step substitutions and are less challenging than the Problem.
