A car can go from 0 m/s to 27 m/s in 4.5 seconds. If a net force of 6600 N acted on the car, what is its mass? (Hint: You must first calculate the acceleration then plug into Newton’s second law.)

Answer:

1100 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration:


a=(27-0)/4.5


a=6ms^(-2)

Newton's second law:


F=ma


6600=6m\\m=1100 kg
