A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)
Answer
A
0.5 m/s2
B
2 m/s2
C
600 m/s2
D
1,800 m/s2
Explanation
Rearrange F = ma to find acceleration: a = F ÷ m. Substituting the values gives 600 N ÷ 1,200 kg = 0.5 m/s². Therefore, the acceleration is 0.5 m/s², choice A.
