Answer:
F = 404.6 N
Explanation:
Mechanical Force
According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
F = m.a
Where a is the acceleration of the object.
On the other hand, the equations of the Kinematics describe the motion of the object by the equation:
[tex]v_f=v_o+a.t[/tex]
Where:
vf is the final speed
vo is the initial speed
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Another useful equation for speeds and distance X is:
[tex]V_f^2=V_o^2+2aX[/tex]
To calculate the acceleration, we solve for a:
[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{V_f^2-V_o^2}{2X}[/tex]
The SUV starts from rest (vo=0) to vf=10.4 m/s traveling a distance of X=211 m, thus the acceleration is:
[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{10.4^2-0^2}{2(212)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{108.16}{424}[/tex]
[tex]a=0.26 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The force needed to accelerate the SUV of mass m=1,586 Kg is:
F = 1,586*0.26
F = 404.6 N
