    What is the force applied by the handbrake to stop the car?

    Thank you for your reply... rasp is actually Grasp and its a method which was taught to me to somewhat organize your solutions. G- givens R- what's Required A- The Analysis ie) eqns that will be used S- The Solution where all the work is done P- the paraphrase to answer the original...

    What is the force applied by the handbrake to stop the car?

    Okay I tried to solve part b,c and d again... b) G:DeltaV= -25m/s, DeltaT=25.0s R: Accel A: Accel= deltaV/deltaT s: Accel= -25m/s / 25s = -1.0m/s^2 p: The avg acceleration of the car is -1.0m/s^2 during this interval. c) G:Accel=-1.0m/s^2, Mcar=1542kg R: Fair...

    What is the force applied by the handbrake to stop the car?

    Hi thanks for the input... I realize acceleration is m/s squared but I am not sure how to type the squared sign on the computer... Also in the original question is says to asssume a frictionless surface so I don't think it is necessary to find the force of friction...

    What is the force applied by the handbrake to stop the car?

    Hi I am getting into the section of Newtons laws and came across this question which I found difficult. The question reads: Roberta drives her 1452kg car along a straight, level road at a constant velocity of 30.0 m/s {E}. Her brakes suddenly give out. She puts the car in heutral and let's...
