Answer:

Mass of car's engine = 342.85 kg (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

Force applied by car = 1,200 N

Acceleration of car' engine = 3.5 m/s²

Find:

Mass of car's engine

Computation:

⇒ Mass = Force / Acceleration

⇒ Mass of car's engine = Force applied by car / Acceleration of car

⇒ Mass of car's engine = 1,200 / 3.5

⇒ Mass of car's engine = 342.85 kg (Approx.)
