Question

A 0.40 kg toy car moves at constant acceleration of 2.3 m/s2. determine the net applied force that is responsible for that acceleration.

Answer 1

Net force = ma = 0.4x2.3 =0.92N.

Answer 2

F = 0.92 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the toy car, m = 0.4 kg

Acceleration of the car,
`a=2.3\ m/s^2`

Let F is the net force applied to the to the toy car. It is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. Its formula is given by :

`F=m* a`

`F=0.4\ kg* 2.3\ m/s^2`

F = 0.92 N

So, the net applied force that is responsible for that acceleration is 0.92 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
