Question

A 600 kg vehicle has an engine that is exerting 7000 N of force. Assuming a drag force of 500 N what is the vehicle's acceleration ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of Vehicle = 600 kg

Force = F = 7000 N

Drag force = f = 500 N

Let Fnet is net force on Vehicle then

Fnet = F - f

Fnet = 7000 - 500

Fnet = 6500 N

Let a is acceleration of Vehicle then by Newton's law

Fnet = Ma

a = Fnet / M

a = 6500/ 600

a = 10.83 m/s2

This is acceleration of Vehicle
