Question

A tow truck exerts a force of 3500N on a car, accelerating it at 4 m/s2, what is the mass of the car?

Answer 1

875 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of the car, we can use the Newton's second law of motion.

F= m *a

`\sf m =(F)/(a)`

Here, F is the force acting on the object and a is the acceleration.

F = 3500 N and a = 4 m/s²

`\sf m = (3500)/(4)\\\\~~~ = 875 \ Kg`

Mass of the car = 875 Kg
