Question

A car has a mass of 1500 kg. If the force acting on the car is 6750 N to the east, what is the car’s acceleration?

Answer 1

The car's acceleration is equal to
`4.5(m)/(s^(2))` to the east.

Why?

To calculate the car's acceleration, we need to use the given information about its mass and the force applied on it. We can use the following formula:

`Force=mass*acceleration\\\\6570N=1500Kg*acceleration\\\\acceleration=(6750N)/(1500Kg)=4.5(m)/(s^(2))`

Hence, we have that the car's acceleration is equal to
`4.5(m)/(s^(2))` to the east.

Have a nice day!
