Question

A tow truck exerts a force of 3000 N on a car, accelerating it at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the car?

A. 9.8 kg
B. 1500kg
C. 3000 kg
D.6000 kg

Answer 1

Answer:1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Mass, m = 1500 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the truck, F = 3000 N

Acceleration of the truck,
`a=2\ m/s^2`

Let m is the mass of the truck. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as

F = m × a

`m=(F)/(a)`

`m=(3000)/(2)`

m = 1500 kg

So, the mass of the truck is 1500 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
