Question

Your own car has a mass of 2000 kg. If your car produces a force of 5000 N, how fast will it accelerate?

Answer 1

A=F/M

A=5000 N (newtons) divided by 2000 kg (kilograms)

A=2.5 m/s squared

Answer 2

2.5m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2000kg

Force produced by the car = 5000N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is a product of mass and acceleration.

Force = mass x acceleration

Now, insert the parameters and find the unknown;

5000 = 2000 x acceleration

Acceleration =
`(5000)/(2000)` = 2.5m/s²
