consider two cars moving along the same straight road in opposite directions. car a has a mass of 500kg500kg and has a constant speed of 20m/s20m/s ; car b has a mass of 800kg800kg and a constant speed of 15m/s15m/s . what can you say about the net forces on the cars?



Answer :

The net force on both the cars car a and car B will be zero.

According to the first law of motion stated by Newton,

An object would continuously written it's state of motion or rest if the net force on the object is zero. It means that, no matter how many forces are working on the body if they all cancel out each other and the net force becomes zero the body will continue it's same state.

Also according to second law of Newton,

The force is rate of change of momentum with respect to time.

F = ma

Here, both the cars the car A of mass 500 kg and the car B of mass 800 kg are moving with a constant velocity of 20 m/s and 15 m/s respectively.

If the velocity of the car is not changing with time it means that there is no acceleration on the body.

If there is no acceleration on the body, then there is no net force on the body.

So, we can conclude hair that the net force on the cards is zero.
