Problema Solution

A 1165 kg automobile is pulled by a horizontal tow line with a net force of 844 N.

What is the acceleration of the auto? (Neglect friction.)

Answer provided by our tutors

F=ma


844 = 1165a

a = 844/1165 = 0.724 N/kg


N = kg*(m/s^2)

kg*(m/s^2)/kg = m/s^2


acceleration is 0.725 m/s^2
