A small car with a mass of 800kg moving with a velocity of 27.8 m/s. The car stops at a yellow light in 3.9 seconds. What force did it take for the car to stop?

F = 5702.56 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a small car, m = 800 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 27.8 m/s

Final speed, v = 0

Time, t = 3.9 s

We need to find the force did it take for the car to stop.

The force acting on an object is given by :

So, the magnitude of force acting on the car to stop is 5702.56 N.
