Question

I forgot my car in a no - parking zone. A tow truck pulled it away. The truck exerted a force of 4000 N on my car. There was friction between the car’s tires and the ground, and the force of friction was 600 N. My car was moving with an acceleration of 2 m/s². What is the mass of my car? Write the solution to this question showing all the steps. Do not forget the units on your final answer.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

The force exerted by the truck on the car is $F = 4000 N$
The friction force is $F_{f} = 600 N$
The acceleration is $a = 2 m / s^{2}$

The net force acting on the car is;

$m a = F - F_{f}$

Here, m is the mass of the car.
