Question

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the

Answer 1

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  = $\frac{Force }{mass}$   = $\frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }$    = 3.06m/s² to the east
