Question

calculate the acceleration of a 520 kg car that had 5050N of net force exerted on it by the engine. explain how you solve the problem please

Answer 1

I'll explain first:

You use the formula for Newton's second law of motion.
The formula is so simple, and it solves so many problems,
that it's actually a good idea to memorize it.
(I learned it 58 years ago, and I still remember it.)

The formula is                 F  =  M A

It means                    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

In this question, you know the force, and you know the mass,
so calculating the acceleration is a piece-o-cake.

                                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                                (5,050 N) = (520 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by  520 kg :  (5,050 N / 520 kg) = acceleration

                                                 Acceleration = 9.712 m/s² (rounded)
