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}}

Changes in ocean currents have caused what to occur to people who are living in the inland parts of North America?
Lana71 [14]

Currents involve movement of ocean water masses, driven either by wind or by differences in temperature, salinity and density. The most important from a human perspective are the wind-driven surface currents that move water in the uppermost layer of the ocean.

Currents affect humans in several primary ways. Currents help shape the climate in the areas where we live, create the right conditions to support abundant ocean life in the areas where we fish, and change weather patterns through periodic events like El Nino/La Nina.

Ocean currents also cause upwelling in many areas like off in the inland parts of North America, where surface currents taking water away from the shore cause nutrient-rich water to well up from the ocean deeps. The abundance of nutrients in these areas forms fertile ground for kelp beds and marine fisheries, which in turn furnish food for humans. Alterations in current patterns like the El Nino/La Nina cycle affect humans as well by causing changes in local weather patterns in the years when they occur.
