A certain car (Mazda Miata) has a mass of 1080 kg and can go from zero to 26.8 m/s (0 to 60 mph)in 7.9 seconds. What magnitude of net force must act on the car to cause this?
A 1200-kg trailer is hitched to a 1400-kg car. The car and trailer are traveling at 72 km/h when the driver applies the brakes on both the car and the trailer. Knowing that the braking forces exerted on the car and the trailer are 5000 N and 4000 N, respectively, determine (a) the distance traveled by the car and trailer before they come to a stop, (b) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the trailer hitch on the car.
Two forces F, = (81.24i – 26.83ĵ) N and
