What is the net force acting on a car cruising at a constant velocity of 70 km/h (a) on a level road, (b) on an uphill road?

Respuesta :

The net force on the car for either case will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

Net force on the car

The net force on the car is the sum of all the forces acting on the car.

∑F = ma

When the car is on a level road

When the car is on a level road, the only two forces acting on the car is the applied force and frictional force of the road.

F - Ff = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

When the car is on uphill

The forces acting on the car at the uphill is the applied force, weight of the car acting downwards and the frictional force acting opposite direction.

F - Wsinθ - μFₙcosθ = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.
