a Porsche 911 accelerates from rest to 27 metre per second due north in 5.8 seconds the mass of the car is 1400 kg what is the magnitude and direction of the average net force

The average force has a magnitude 6524 N due north.

Explanation:

The average net force F = ma where m = mass of car = 1400 kg and a = acceleration.

a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of car = 0 m/s (since it starts from rest)

v = final velocity of car = 27 m/s due north and t = time of motion = 5.8 s

a = (27 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.8 s = 27 m/s ÷ 5.8 s = 4.66 m/s

Since the direction of the velocity change is the direction of the acceleration, the acceleration is 4.66 m/s due north.

The average force, F = ma = 1400 kg × 4.66 m/s = 6524 N

Since the acceleration is due north, the average force takes the direction of the acceleration.

So the direction of the average force is due north

The average force has a magnitude 6524 N due north.
