An 800 kg car exerts 4000N of applied force on a level road while being opposed by 700 N of friction. Determine the acceleration of the car.

a = 4.125 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of acceleration, we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Performing a summation of forces on the x-axis, we have:

4000 - 700 = m*a

4000 - 700 = 800*a

a = 4.125 [m/s^2]

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
