. A car with weight . × nj N is initially moving at a speed of km hr−lj when
the brakes are applied, and the car is brought to a stop in m. Assume that
the stopping force is constant. Find
(a) the magnitude of the force and
(b) the time required to bring the car to a halt.
. e car from the previous question has a different initial speed of km hr−lj .
e same constant force is applied to bring the car to a halt. What is the
stopping distance in this case?
. Two blocks with weights of . kg and . kg are in contact on a horizontal
frictionless table. A horizontal force of . N is applied to the larger block
on the face opposite the smaller block. Find the force of contact between
the two blocks. If the force was applied to the lighter block in the direction
of the heavier, show that the force of contact is different to the earlier case.
Explain this difference.
