Problem

A car of mass 800 kg800\,\text{kg} starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 m s−120\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} in 5 s5\,\text{s} on a straight road. (a) Calculate the momentum of the car: (i) at the start, (ii) at the end of the 5 s5\,\text{s} interval. (b) Determine the magnitude of the net force that must have acted on the car during this time. (c) Find the acceleration produced in the car.
