0.5 m/s2
To calculate the car's acceleration, we can use the formula:
F = ma
Where:
- F = force applied (200 N)
- m = mass of the car (400 kg)
- a = acceleration
Substitute the values into the formula:
200 = 400 * a
Solve for a:
a = 200 / 400
a = 0.5 m/s2
Therefore, the car's acceleration is 0.5 m/s2.
