A compact car has a maximum acceleration of $4.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of $1200 \mathrm{kg}$. What is its maximum acceleration after picking up four passengers and their luggage, adding an additional $400 \mathrm{kg}$ of mass?
A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 5 m/s² when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1,200 kg. To the nearest 0.1 m/s², what is its maximum acceleration after picking up four passengers and their luggage, adding an additional 445 kg of mass?
Para P.
An automobile has a mass of $10 \overline{0}$ slugs. The passengers it carries have a mass (a) Find the acceleration of the auto and one passenger if the of $5.00$ slugs each. total force acting on them is $1500 \mathrm{lb}$. (b) Find the acceleration of the auto and six passengers if the total force is again $1500 \mathrm{lb}$.
