A truck driver slams on the brakes and the momentum of the truck changes from<65,000,0,0>kg.m/sto<26,000,0,0>kg.m/s
in4.1sdue to a constant force of the road on the wheels of the truck. As a vector, write the net force exerted on the truck by the surroundings.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net force exerted on the truck by the surrounding is<-9512.2,0,0>N.

Step by step solution

01

Definition and the formula of the net force

The rate of change of a particular system’s momentum will be equated to the net force applied to that system.

If the system's momentum changes from initial momentum p1→ to final momentum p2→over time ∆T, the force acting on the system will be,

localid="1653963994357">→Fnet=p2→-p→1∆t

02

Finding the net force on the system.

Substitute <65,000,0,0>kg.m/sfor →p1, <26,000,0,0>kg.m/sfor →p2, and 4.1sfor ∆tinto the formula of the net force acting on the system.

role="math" localid="1653965078905" Fnet→=<26,000,0,0>kg.m/s-<65,000,0,0>kg.m/s4.1s=<26,000-65,000,0-0,0-0>kg.m/s4.1s=<-39,000,0,0>kg.m/s4.1s.(1N1kg.m/s)=<-9512.2,0,0>NTherefore,thenetforceonthesystemis<-9512.2,0,0>N.
