When the car is moving the unbalanced force acting on the car is 150 N.
A) State the equation which relates unbalanced force, mass and acceleration?​


Sagot :

Answer:

 F = m a,  a = 0.3 m / s²

this acceleration points in the direction of the unbalanced force

Explanation:

In this problem we must use Newton's second law. Let's fix a reference system with the x axis parallel to the surface and the y axis perpendicular

Y axis y

         N-W = 0

         N = W = mg

X axis

        ∑ F = m a

        F = m a

we substitute

        150 = m a

To find an acceleration value, the mass of the car must be known, if the mass is m = 500 kg

        a = 150/500

        a = 0.3 m / s²

this acceleration points in the direction of the unbalanced force
