Answer:

The acceleration of Amy's car is 3 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of Amy's car, m = 2400 kg

force of the car, F = 7200 N

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force of the car is given as;

F = ma

where;

a is the acceleration of the car

Substitute the given parameters and solve for acceleration;

a = F / m

a = (7200) / (2400)

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of Amy's car is 3 m/s²
