A 7800 N is exerted toaccelerate a car from a rest toa velocity of 3 m/s in 5 s.What is the mass of the car?​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The force acting on an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{F = ma}[/tex]

where:

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for a

[tex]a = \dfrac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{\text{3 m/s} - 0}{\text{5 s}}[/tex]

a = 0.6 m/s²

Solving for m

F = ma

[tex]\dfrac{F}{a} = \dfrac{ma}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{F}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{\text{7,800 N}}{\text{0.6 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{m = \text{13,000 kg}}[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of the car is 13,000 kg.
