Your own car has a mass of 2000 kg. If your car produces a force of 5000 N, how fast will it accelerate? F=_______ F=______ m=______ a=______

Respuesta :

The acceleration of a car = 2.5 m/s²

Further explanation

Given

mass = 2000 kg

force = 5000 N

Required

The acceleration

Solution

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object  

∑F = m. a  

a = ∑F : m

Input the value :

a = 5000 N : 2000 kg

a = 2.5 m/s²
