A car of mass $2400\ kg$ moving with a velocity of $20\ ms^{-1}$ is stopped in $10\ seconds$ on applying brakes. Calculate the retardation and the retarding force.
Here, the mass of the car $m=2400\ kg$
Initial velocity $u=20\ ms^{-1}$
Final velocity $v=0$
Time $t=10\ s$
Therefore, retardation $a=\frac{0-20}{10}$
$=-2\ m/s^2$ [-ve sign indicates the retardation]
Therefore, applied force $F=ma$
$=2400\ kg\times 2\ m/s^2$
$=4800\ N$
Therefore, the retardation of the car is $2\ m/s^2$, and the applied force is $4800\ N$.
