Question

What is the acceleration of a 1,500 kg car if the net force of 1,200 N is exerted on it?

Answer 1

Answer:

$a = 0.8 \frac{m}{{s}^{2} }$

Explanation:

Newton's second Law:

F = ma

where

F: net force applied

m: mass of the object

a: acceleration

so you just need to substitute your values and solve for a. In other words...

$1200 = 1500a \\ a = \frac{1200}{1500} = 0.8 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$
