A car is moving along a road with a uniform speed of 20 km/hour. The net force acting on the car is

A

the driving force (P) which drives the car in the forward direction

B

the opposing (frictional) force (f),opposite to the direction of motion of the car

C

zero

D

`P+F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since the car is moving with uniform velocity, acceleration = 0 and hence the net force (ma) acting on the car is zero.

Consider the following statements: Car I is parked near a post office II. Car II is moving along a straight road with uniform speed Which of the following distance?time graphs represents the motion of the respective cars?

Assertion A car moves along a road with uniform speed. The path of car lies in vertical plane and shown in fighre. The radius of curvature (R) of the path is same everywhere. If the car does not loose contact with road at the highest point, it can travel the shown path without loosing contact with road anywhere else. Reason For car to loose contact with road, the normal reaction between car and road should be zero.
