In a performance test, each of two cars takes 9.8 s to accelerate from rest to 29.1 m/s. Car A has a mass of 1,253 kg, and car B has a mass of 1,913 kg. Find the net average force that acts on car A during the test.
Added by Gadget G.
Step 1
1 m/s (since they both start from rest), and the time is 9.8 s. So the acceleration for both cars is: acceleration = 29.1 m/s / 9.8 s = 2.969 m/s^2 Show more…
