Question

The net force on a vehicle that is accelerating at a rate of 1.2 m/s² is 1500 newtons. What is the mass

of the vehicle to the nearest kilogram?

Answer 1

1250kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 1.2m/s²

Force = 1500N

Unknown:

Mass on the vehicle = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

Since mass is the unknown, insert the parameters and solve;

1500 = mass x 1.2

mass =
`(1500)/(1.2)` = 1250kg
