If the engine of a car exerts a force of 5000N to move the car forward and the frictional forces exerted on the car total 1500N, what is the car's acceleration?(1 Point)3.33 m/s²2.50 m/s²1.67 m/s²1.25 m/s²

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass. The net force is the difference between the force exerted by the engine and the frictional force.

  1. First, calculate the net force: 5000N (engine force) - 1500N (frictional force) = 3500N (net force).

  2. The problem does not provide the mass of the car, so we cannot calculate the exact acceleration. However, we can say that the acceleration would be 3500N divided by the mass of the car (a = F/m).

Without the mass of the car, we cannot determine the exact acceleration and choose the correct answer from the options provided.
