Answer:

m`= 1500 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force exerted by the tow truck on car, F = 3000 N

The acceleration of the car, a = 2 m/s²

The mass of the car, m = ?

The force acting on a body is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. This is given by the formula

F = m a newton

Therefore, m = F/a Kg

Substituting the values in the above equation,

m = 3000 N/ 2 m/s²

= 1500 Kg

Hence, the mass of the car, m = 1500 Kg
