Answer:

2.33\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.  The net force is the sum of the individual vector forces applied to the object.

The m=1500 Kg car has two horizontal forces applied: the forward force of 5000 N that causes the movement and the air resistance force of 1250 N that opposes motion.

The net force is Fn = 5000 N - 1500 N = 3500 N

To find the acceleration, we solve the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{Fn}{m}

\displaystyle a=\frac{3500}{1500}

\boxed{a = 2.33\ m/s^2}

The car's acceleration is a = 2.33\ m/s^2

saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<em>The most suitable testable question. in this case, would be that 'are there more home runs during the more humid months of the  summer?'</em>

Since the aim of the investigation is to find the relationship between humidity and the number of home runs, measuring the number of home runs during the more humid months in the summer and comparing the data to the number of home runs during the less humid months in the same summer would provide the answer.

<u>Only option D raises a valid question that is relevant to the aim of the investigation.</u>
