Question
Calculate the force required to accelerate a car from rest to a velocity of 30 ms1 in 10 seconds. The mass of the car is  1500 kg.
Options:
A .   4000 N
B .   3000 N
C .   4500 N
D .   3500 N
Answer: Option C
:
C
Here, mass m = 1500kg
Initial velocity, u = 0, final velocity, v = 30ms1, time taken, t = 10s.
Now, putting these values in the first equation of motion,v=u+at, we get
30=0+a×t,
10a=30
a=3ms2
Now, putting m=1500kgand a =3ms2 in equation, F=m×a, we get
F=1500×3 = 4500N.
Thus, the force required is4500N.
