Answer:
Fa=774 N
Fb=346 N
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.
- On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
- On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative
While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero
⇒∑Fy=0
⇒
⇒
⇒
Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction
⇒∑Fx=950

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N
Fm=Fe and am>ae
Hopefully this helps
Answer:
Energy needed = 1100 kJ
Explanation:
Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Mass, m = 1600 kg

Final velocity = 40 m/s

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy = 1280000-180000 = 1100000J
Energy needed = 1100 kJ
