When the engine of a moving car is switched off, it stops after travelling some distance. Does it violate Newton`s first law?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, Newton's first law is not violated. The car stops due to opposing force of friction between the tyres and road.

The brakes of a car moving at 20 m/s along a horizontal road are suddenly applied and it comes to rest after travelling some distance if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.90 and it is assumed that all four tyres behave identically, the shortest distance the car would travel before coming to a stop is

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a spedd of 36 km//h. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
