Answer:

2.5m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 1400kg

Resultant force = 3500N

Speed = 30m/s

Unknown:

Average acceleration = ?

Solution:

According to the Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

Now;

3500 = 1400 x acceleration

Acceleration =
(3500)/(1400) = 2.5m/s²
