Question

My car engine can generate 3000 Newtons of force and the car masses 1500 kg. How fast can the sports car accelerate?​

Answer 1

The sports Car can accelerate at 2 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

Force:

Force is the push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change velocity or to accelerate.

Force represents as a vector, which means it has both magnitude and direction.

Given:

Mass of car = 1500 kg

Force = 3000 Newtons

To Find:

Acceleration, = ?

Solution:

Formula:

`Force = Mass* Acceleration\\F= ma\\3000 = 1500* Acceleration\\Acceleration = (3000)/(1500) \\Acceleration = 2\ m/s^(2)`

Therefore, the sports Car can accelerate at 2 m/s².
