Problema Solution
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 39.9 m/s in a time of 7.04 s. The mass of the car and riders is 3.32 × 103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.
Answer provided by our tutors
F = ma
m = 3.32*103 kg
a = (39.9)/7.04 m/s^2
F = 3.32*103 * (39.9)/7.04 = 1938.09
a force of approximately 1,938 N is exerted
