A crane exerts a net force of 900 N upward on a 750-kilogram car as the crane starts to lift the
deck of a cargo ship. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the car is [tex]1.2 m/s^2[/tex] upward

Explanation:

We can solve the question by using Newton's Second Law of motion, which states that:

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

where

F is the net force exerted on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we know that:

F = 900 N is the net force exerted on the car

m = 750 kg is the mass of the car

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration of the car:

[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{900}{750}=1.2 m/s^2[/tex]

and it is in the same direction as the force (upward).
