Question

The engine of a 2250 kg car propels the vehicle with 5625 N of force. Find the acceleration of the car.

Answer 1

Answer: 2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of car = 2250 kg

Force = 5625 N

Acceleration of the car = ?

Recall that Force is the product of mass of an object and acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x acceleration

5625 N = 2250 kg x acceleration

Acceleration = (5625 N / 2250 kg)

Acceleration = 2.5m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 metres per second square.
