Question

Branson pushed the car with a force of 500 Newtons. The mass of the car was 1,350 kg. What was the car's acceleration?

a. 0.37 m/s


b. 0.37 m/s2


c. 2.7 m/s


d. 2.7 m/s2


e. Several thousand m/s


f Several thousand m/s2

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

use F=ma (m is in kilograms(kg), F is in newtons(N), and a is in meters per second squared(m/s2)). we are given m, and f, so move the equation around to a=F/m. which would equal: a=500N/1,350kg = 0.37037. use 2 sig figs to round up and get 0.37m/s2
