In a performance test, each of two cars takes 8.9 s to accelerate from rest to 28 m/s. Car A has a mass of 1429 kg, and car B has a mass of 1889 kg. Find the net average force that acts on (a) car A and (b) car B during the test.
Solution :-
initial velocity = 28 m/s
t =8.9 sec
average acceleration = (final velocity - initial
velocity)/t
=> 28/8.9 = 3.146 m/s^2
(a) average force acting on car A = 1429*3.146 = 4495.6 N
(b) average force acting on car B = 1889*3.146 = 5942.8 N

Two cars start from rest. Both cars accelerate at a constant rate for a certain period. Car 1’s acceleration is twice Car 2’s acceleration; Car 2 accelerates for twice as long as Car 1. Which car covers more distance during its period of acceleration? By what factor? assume g=10m/s^2
1) It is friction that provides the force for a car to accelerate, so for high-performance cars the factor that limits acceleration isn't the engine; it's the tires. For typical rubber-on-concrete friction, what is the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph? Suppose that μs=1.00 and μk=0.80. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. 2) A 22 cm diameter bowling ball has a terminal speed of 69 m/s. Suppose...

A car accelerates rest and reaches a speed of 16.5 m/s in 8.9 s. The diameter of a tire is 70.5 cm uniformly from Find the number of revolutions the tire makes during this motion, assuming no slip- ping. Answer in units of...
As part of a safety investigation, two 1600 kg cars traveling at 17 m/s are crashed into different barriers. Find the average force exerted on the car that hits a line of water barrels and takes 1.4 s to stop. Find the average force exerted on the car that hits a concrete barrier and takes 0.18 s to stop.
an adult 68 kg cheetah can accelerate from rest to 20.1 m/s (45 mph) in 2.0 s. Assuming constant acceleration, (a) find the net external force causing this acceleration. (b) where does the force come from? that is, what exerts the force on the cheetah?
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 50.00 in a time of 8 s. The combined mass of the car and riders is 5.50*103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.
Seatbelts provide two main advantages in a car accident: (i) they keep you from being thrown from the car, and (ii) they reduce the force that acts on you during the collision to survivable levels. The second benefit can be illustrated by comparing the net force exerted on the driver of a car in a head-on collision with and without a seatbelt. (a) A driver wearing a seatbelt decelerates at the same rate as the car itself. Since modern cars...
3 A 1350-kg car is to accelerate from rest to a speed of 30.0 m/s in a time of 12.0 s as it climbs a 15° hill. Assuming uniform acceleration, what minimum power is needed to accelerate the car in this way? (Answer in kW)
Two cars are parked across a street from each other. One car has a mass of 1.34×103 kg and the second car has a mass of 940. kg. The attraction force between the two cars is 6.59×10-6 N. What is the distance between the two cars?
In a quarter-mile drag race, two cars start simultaneously from rest, and each accelerates at a constant rate until it either reaches its maximum speed or crosses the finish line. Car A has an acceleration of 11.6 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 108 m/s. Car B has an acceleration of 11.7 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 91.0 m/s. Which car wins the race, and by how many seconds?
