The net force on a vehicle that is accelerating at a rate of 1.5m/s^2 is 1,800 newtons. What is the mass of the vehicle to the nearest kilogram?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Net force F = 1800 N

acceleration a = 1.5 m /s²

mass = m

mass = force / acceleration

= 1800 / 1.5

m = 1200 kg

The mass of the vehicle to the nearest kilogram is 1200 Kg

The force acting on an object is defined by the following equation

Force (F) = mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

F = ma

With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of the vehicle as follow:

Force (F) = 1800 N

Acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

[tex]m = \frac{F}{a} \\ \\ m = \frac{1800}{1.5} \\ \\ m = 1200 \: Kg[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of the vehicle is 1200 Kg
