Answer:
2.5m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 2000kg
Force produced by the car = 5000N
Unknown:
Acceleration of the car = ?
Solution:
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is a product of mass and acceleration.
Force = mass x acceleration
Now, insert the parameters and find the unknown;
5000 = 2000 x acceleration
Acceleration =
= 2.5m/s²
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.
If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day. But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.
