Answer: 2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}


According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion (in the specific case when the mass m <u>is constant</u>) the acceleration a that a body acquires is directly proportional to the exerted force F on the body.

As shown in the following equation:


F=ma    (1)


We already know the value of the mass of the car and the force excerted on it. So, we need to find the value of the acceleration from equation (1):


a=\frac{F}{m}     (2)


And substitute the known values:


a=\frac{3000N}{1200kg}    


At this point, note that 1N=1kg\frac{m}{s^{2}}


Taking this into account, the acceleration of the car is:


a=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The earth is closer to the sun during summer in the northern hemisphere than it is during winter.
Nataly_w [17]
Salutations!

The Earth is closer to the sun during summer in the Northern Hemisphere than it is during winter. True or False?

True. The Earth is closer to the sun because during the summer, the sun rays are directly hitting towards the Northern Hemisphere which makes it hot. During the winter, the sun rays are not directly hitting, thus, its cooler in winter than in the summer.
