Answer:
F = -3000 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the car, m = 200 kg
A roller coaster containing four cars is accelerating at -15 m/s²
We need to find the force exerted on the roller coaster to bring it to a stop. Let F is the force.
F = ma
Putting all the values,
F = 200 kg × (-15 m/s²)
= -3000 N
So, the force us 3000 N and it act in opposite direction.
