A net force of 5000 N accelerates a car from rest to 24 m/s in 5 s. what is the mass of the car? What is the weight of the car?

Answer 1

a = (24 m/s)/(5s) = 4.8 m/s^2.

m = F/a = (5000 N)/(4.8 m/s^2) 

= 1041.7 kg.

Weight = (1041.7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 10208 N.

Or round off mass and weight to 1040 kg, 

10200 N.
