Branson pushed the car with a force of 500 Newtons. The mass of the car was 1,350 kg. What was the car's acceleration?

a. 0.37 m/s

b. 0.37 m/s2

c. 2.7 m/s

d. 2.7 m/s2

e. Several thousand m/s

f Several thousand m/s2

B

Explanation:

use F=ma (m is in kilograms(kg), F is in newtons(N), and a is in meters per second squared(m/s2)). we are given m, and f, so move the equation around to a=F/m. which would equal: a=500N/1,350kg = 0.37037. use 2 sig figs to round up and get 0.37m/s2

b would be the answer

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
