HELP ASAP TIMER Your younger brother gets a new toy car as a present. He winds up the toy, puts it on the ground and watches it accelerate for 5 seconds. You can explain how to find the net force acting on the toy car for the 5 seconds while accelerating by the following:

a
Use a meterstick and stopwatch to measure the distance the car travels for the 5s.
b
Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and at time of 5s .
c
Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a meterstick to measure the distance the car travels for the 5s .
d
Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and a time of 5s . Use a meterstick to determine the distance the car travels for 5s .

b  Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and at time of 5s .

Explanation:

The right way to measure the net force on the car is take the measurement of its mass then find the speed of the car within the time 0s to 5s.

This is because the net force acting on car is given as;

   Force  = mass x acceleration

By using the balance, the mass is determine

 Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

     Acceleration  =  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now,

         Force  = mass x    

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
