A 2.0 x 103 kg car accelerates from rest under the influence of
two forces. One is a forward force of 1100 N provided by traction
between the wheels and the road. The other is a 950 N resistive
force due to various frictional forces.
a) What is the net force on the car?
b) At the moment the car reaches 5.0 m/s, calculate its kinetic
energy.
c) How far must the car travel for its speed to reach 5.0
m/s?
