F = m * a
Where:
* F is the net force acting on the car (in Newtons)
* m is the mass of the car (in kilograms)
* a is the acceleration of the car (in meters per second squared)
To solve for acceleration (a), we can rearrange the equation:
a = F / m
Therefore, to find the acceleration of the car, you need to know the net force (F) acting on it and its mass (m).
Example:
If a 1000 N net force acts on a 1000 kg car, the acceleration would be:
a = 1000 N / 1000 kg = 1 m/s²
