Answer:
-4000 N
Explanation:
1. First let's look at what we know.
Mass: 1000 kg
Initial velocity: 20 m/s
Final velocity: 0 m/s
Displacement: 50 m
2. Let's try and apply a Kinematics equation here.
Looking at what information we have, I would say that this is the best equation:
v[tex]f^{2}[/tex]=v[tex]o^{2}[/tex] + 2aΔx
3. Plug in the numbers.
0 = 400 + 2(a)(50)
0 = 400 + 100a
-400 = 100a
a = -4 m/s^2
4. Use ∑F=ma
∑F = (1000)(-4)
∑F = -4000 N
