Answer:
3.06m/s² to the east
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg
Force acting on the car = 7.65 x 10³N
Unknown:
Acceleration of the car = ?
Solution:
From Newton's second law of motion:
Force = mass x acceleration
Acceleration = 
= 
= 3.06m/s² to the east
Answer:
The entire cart/hanging mass system follows the same law, ΣF = ma. This means that plotting force vs. acceleration yields a linear relationship (of the form y = mx).
The kinetic energy decreases
