Question

A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².
