Question

A car has a mass of 1500 kg. If the force acting on the car is 6750 N to the east, what is the car’s acceleration?

Answer 1

The car's acceleration is equal to $4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ to the east.

Why?

To calculate the car's acceleration, we need to use the given information about its mass and the force applied on it. We can use the following formula:

$Force=mass*acceleration\\\\6570N=1500Kg*acceleration\\\\acceleration=\frac{6750N}{1500Kg}=4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Hence, we have that the car's acceleration is equal to $4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ to the east.

Have a nice day!
