The engine of a car applies enough force to accelerate the car from 0 km/h to 180 km/h covering a distance of 100 m. If the mass of the car is 3 tons. Find the force applied by the car's engine?
(Write the answer in newtons.)

Using that the total work is equal to the variation of kinectic energy:
W = Δ E k → F d = 2 m v f 2 − 2 m v i 2
Substituting the values:
F ∗ 1 0 0 = 2 ∗ 3 . 6 2 3 ∗ 1 0 0 0 ∗ 1 8 0 2
Therefore,
F = 3 7 5 0 0
We have , u=0 v=180*5/18=50m/s s=100m m=3 tons = 3000 kg
Using third equation of motion we have. a=v^2 - u^2 / 2s = 12.5 m/s^2
Using formula F = MA ,we get , F = 3000*12.5 = 37500 N
Here v=180 * 5/18=50 m/s and m=3 tons=3*1000=3000 kg We know that S={(v+u)/2}t or 100={(50+0)/2}t or 100=25t so t=4 s,then a=(v-u)/t=50/4=25/2 m/s^2 now F=ma=3000 * 25/2=37500 N
v=180kmph=50mps u=0 s=100m m=3ton=3000kg
v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as
2500 - 0 = 2 a 100
a = 2500/200 = 12.5
F = ma = 3000*12.5 = 37500N
@Raghu Raman Ravi i see that you used the formula v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as but suppose if we didn't know the formula, how can we solve this?

Using the formula below, where u , v , a and S are the initial velocity, final velocity and constant acceleration of the car, and the distance it covers respectively:
v 2 − u 3 ⟹ a = 2 a S = 2 S v 2 − u 2 = 2 × 1 0 0 ( 6 0 × 6 0 1 8 0 × 1 0 0 0 ) 2 − 0 2 = 1 2 . 5 ms − 2
Let the mass of the car be m . Then by Newton Second Law of Motion, the force applied by the engine is F = m a = 3 0 0 0 × 1 2 . 5 = 3 7 5 0 0 N.
