Use a=(dv/dt) (change in velocity/ change in time)=acceleration
(1.2/5)=acceleration
F=ma (Newton's second law, Force= Mass x Acceleration
=960 x 0.24 F=230.4N If T<230.4N then the tow rope will hold

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 1700-kg car horizontally at 0.50 m/s^2 ? Ignore friction. What tension would be required to accelerate it vertically at the same rate?
