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
