Solution

Primero, convertimos las velocidades de km/h a m/s:

  • Velocidad inicial (u): 18 km/h = 18 * (1000 m / 3600 s) = 5 m/s
  • Velocidad final (v): 36 km/h = 36 * (1000 m / 3600 s) = 10 m/s

Luego, calculamos la aceleración (a) usando la fórmula de aceleración:

a=vut a = \frac{v - u}{t}

donde:

  • v v es la velocidad final (10 m/s)
  • u u es la velocidad inicial (5 m/s)
  • t t es el tiempo (2 s)

a=10m/s5m/s2s=5m/s2s=2.5m/s2 a = \frac{10 \, \text{m/s} - 5 \, \text{m/s}}{2 \, \text{s}} = \frac{5 \, \text{m/s}}{2 \, \text{s}} = 2.5 \, \text{m/s}^2

Finalmente, usamos la segunda ley de Newton para encontrar la fuerza (F):

F=ma F = m \cdot a

donde:

  • m m es la masa del coche (2000 kg)
  • a a es la aceleración (2.5 m/s²)

F=2000kg2.5m/s2=5000N F = 2000 \, \text{kg} \cdot 2.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 5000 \, \text{N}

Por lo tanto, la fuerza requerida es de 5000 N.
