Question

3. Sandy pushes a 1000 kg car with a force of 800 N. Charlie helps her push the car in the same direction with a force of 700 N. What is the rate of acceleration for the car ?

Answer 1

a = 1.5 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total force = 700 + 800 = 1500 N

then because F = ma

1500 N = 1000 kg * a

a = 1.5 m/s^2
