Question

If a 50kg car is pulling a 30kg car, how much force would be required to accelerate the cars at 2m/s/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

160N

Explanation:

F = m × a

Where;

F = force (Newton)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

According to this question, a 50kg car is pulling a 30kg car. This means that the total mass of the cars is 50kg + 30kg = 80kg

Hence, the force required to accelerate the cars at 2m/s² can be calculated this:

F = 80 × 2

F = 160kgm/s²

F = 160N
