Question:

The engine of a vehicle moves it forward with a force of 9600N against a relative force of 2200N. If the mass of the vehicle is $3400\mathrm{kg}$ , find the acceleration produced.

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be expressed in equation form as follows:

Net force equals:

$$F _ {N} = 9 6 0 0 N - 2 2 0 0 N = 7 4 0 0 N$$

Therefore acceleration equals:

$$a = \frac {7 4 0 0 N}{3 4 0 0 k g} = 2. 2 \frac {m}{s ^ {2}}$$

Answer: $2.2\frac{m}{s^2}$
