A car of mass 500kg is travelling along a flat road. The forward force provided between the car types and the road is 300N and the air resistance is 200N calculated the acceleration of the car
300- 200 = m a = 500 a
so
a = 100/500 = 0.2 m/s^2
I don't know
300-200
a= F/m
100N/500kg
= 1/5
= 0.2m/s^2
To calculate the acceleration of the car, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Step 1: Determine the net force acting on the car.
The net force is the difference between the forward force provided by the car tires and the air resistance. In this case:
Net force = Forward force - Air resistance
= 300 N - 200 N
= 100 N
Step 2: Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Using Newton's second law, the formula for acceleration is:
Acceleration = Net force / Mass
= 100 N / 500 kg
= 0.2 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.2 m/s^2.
