Acceleration of the car is 3.375 m/s² and the force of the car moving forward is 5062.5 N
Explanation:
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
- It is given by the equation, a = change in velocity/time
Here, velocity changes from 0 to 27 m/s and time = 8
⇒ Acceleration = 27 - 0/8 = 27/8 = 3.375 m/s²
- Force is calculated by the equation, F = Mass × Acceleration
- This is based on Newton's second law of motion.
Here, mass of the car = 1500 kg and a = 3.375 m/s²
⇒ Force = 1500 × 3.375 = 5062.5 N
