Question

If the mass of a car is 500kg and its resultant force is 1000N what is it acceleration?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf a = 2\ m/s\²}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass = m = 500 kg

Force = F = 1000 N

Required:

Acceleration = a = ?

Formula:

F = ma (Newton's second law of motion)

Solution:

Put the given data in the above formula.

1000 = (500) a

• Divide both sides by 500

1000/500 = a

2 = a

a = 2 m/s²

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

• Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

if the mass of a car is 500kg and its resultant force is 1000N

• mass of car = 500
• resultant force = 1000 N

To Find :-

• Acceleration

Solution :-

According to the Newton's second law of motion. The Net Force acting on a body if equal to the mass times acceleration.

The formula is :

• F = ma

Where 'm' is mass & 'a' is acceleration.

Putting the required values,

`\longrightarrow 1000 N = 500 * a`

`\longrightarrow a = (1000)/(500)`

`\longrightarrow a = 2 m/s^2`

Therefore the acceleration of the car is 2 m/s^2
