Question

What is the mass of a car that is going 2m/s2 and then hits a tree with a force of 6000N

Answer 1

Given that force applied due to tree on car is 6000 N

and during the stop the acceleration is given as 2 m/s^2.

So here we can say that As per Newton's II law

`F = m*a`

here F = force on car = 6000 N

a = acceleration of car = 2 m/s^2

now we can plug in all values above in the given equation

`6000 = 2*m`

`m = 3000 kg`

So here the mass of the car will be 3000 kg
