Question

a car has a mass of 12,000 kg. What is it’s acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)

Answer 1

the answer to this is .05

Answer 2

m = 12000kg
F = 600N

F = ma

substitute for them and you'll get

600 = 12000a
1/20= a
a = 0.05.


Therefore, the acceleration is equal to 0.05m/s^2.
