A truck is moving forward on the road and experiencing a frictional force of 203 N. The force applied by its engine is 743 N. Considering the air resistance to be negligible, calculate the force that the break needs to apply on it in order to stop it. In which direction should this force be applied?

Vimal had a remote-control toy car, which had separate buttons to control its velocity and direction of motion. He wanted it to be under balanced forces. How should he use the remote for that?
A) He should not start the car or use the remote.
B) He should start the car and then keep on increasing its velocity uniformly
C) He should start the car and make it move in a circular path
D) He should start the car and fix its velocity at a certain value and fix its direction of motion.

  • Centripetal acceleration is needed for circular motion. Means there will be net centripetal force also.
  • Velocity is increasing means there is acceleration. And hence, there is net force.
