The net force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration (F = ma).
Given: acceleration (a) = 1.8 m/s² and net force (F) = 2100 N.
We are asked to find the mass (m) of the vehicle.
Using the formula F = ma, we can rearrange the equation to solve for mass:
m = F / a
Substituting the given values:
m = 2100 N / 1.8 m/s²
Calculating this, we find:
m ≈ 1166.66666667 kg
Rounding this to the nearest kilogram:
m ≈ 1167 kg
Therefore, the approximate mass of the vehicle is 1167 kg.
The net force on a vehicle that is accelerating at a rate of 1.8 m/s2 is 2100 N. What is the approximate mass of the vehicle in kg? Round your answer to the nearest kilogram.
