Question
A car with a mass of 1000kg is travelling at a constant velocity. The force from the engine is 200Newtons. Calculate the acceleration of the car using the formula f=ma.
How long will it take this car to travel 0-60 mph (n.b. 1mph = 0.45m/s)
How long will it take this car to travel 0-60 mph (n.b. 1mph = 0.45m/s)

seems pretty straightforward to me
F = ma
200 = 1000a
a = 0.2
v = at
60*0.45 = 0.2t
t = 135 sec
F = ma
200 = 1000a
a = 0.2
v = at
60*0.45 = 0.2t
t = 135 sec
