Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be found using Newton second law:


F = ma

Where:

F: is the net force = 200 N

m: is the mass = 500 g

a: is the acceleration =?

Then, the acceleration will be:


a = (F)/(m) = (200 N)/(500 g*(1 kg)/(1000 g)) = 400 m/s^(2)

Therefore, the acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
