<u>Answer</u>
The acceleration is
to the nearest tenth
<u>Explanation</u>
Since the car was travelling at 
before it starts to decelerate, the initial velocity is
.
The final velocity is 
, because the car came to a stop.
The time taken is 
.
Using the Newton's equation of linear motion,
, we find the acceleration by substituting the known values.
This implies that,
This gives us,
We divide both sides by 15 to get,
or
The mass will accelerate. Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero<span>. </span>
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667
