Calculating Car Mass with Constant Speed on a Bridge
Thanks for the welcome! :) I have written the question exactly the way it is on the page including the ms-1, which i know is supposed to be superscript but isn't it interchangable with m/s? Anyway the only extra info given was a second part to the question which asks "The bridge can support a...- Lee80

Calculating Car Mass with Constant Speed on a Bridge
If a car is traveling towards a bridge at a constant speed of 20ms-1. The bridge takes 30s to cross entirely. The car creates a force of 3000N. Calculate the mass of the car when it is on the bridge. a=(v2-v1)/t F=ma I figured that a = 0 due to the fact that the car is traveling at...- Lee80
