Question

A Cadiallac Escalade has a mass of 2569.6 kg, if it accelerates at 4.65 m/s^2 what is the net force of the car?

Answer 1

11948.64 N

Step-by-step explanation:

By Newtons Second law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force acted upon the object,

F = Change in momentum(ΔΡ)/time taken(t) = m(v-u)/t (because momentum(P) = mass×velocity)

So we get,

F = ma

= 2569.6×4.65 = 11948.64 N where F = net force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object
