The acceleration that a car of mass 4500 Kg have, given that a force of 36000 N was applied to it is 8 m/s²
How to calculate the acceleration the car will have?
Force on a moving object has a relationship with object by the following formula:
Force = Mass of object × acceleration of object
We can use the above relation to calculate the acceleration the car will have. This is shown below:
- Mass of car = 4500 Kg
- Force applied to car = 36000 N
- Acceleration of car =?
Force applied to car = Mass of car × acceleration of car
36000 = 4500 × acceleration of car
Divide both sides by 4500
Acceleration of car = 36000 / 4500
= 8 m/s²
Thus, the car will have an acceleration of 8 m/s² when a force of 36000 N is applied to it
Complete question:
How much acceleration would the car of mass 4500 Kg have if a 36000 N force was applied to the car?
