If a force of 1000N is required for a car to accelerate at a rate of #2# #m##/##s^2#, what is the mass of the car?

Answer 1

# 500 kg#

Given, Force (f) = # 1000 N # Acceleration (a) = # 2 ms^-2 # Mass (m) = ? We know that, Force = mass #xx# acceleration # -> 1000 = m xx 2# # -> 1000 = 2m# # -> m = 1000/2 # # :. Mass = 500 kg#

To find the mass of the car, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma). Rearranging the formula to solve for mass gives you mass = force divided by acceleration. Therefore, mass = force / acceleration. Plugging in the given values, you get mass = 1000 N / 2 m/s^2 = 500 kg. So, the mass of the car is 500 kilograms.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
