Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion states:
* Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
Solving for Acceleration
1. Rearrange the formula:
a = F / m
2. Plug in the values:
a = 1000 N / 2000 kg
3. Calculate:
a = 0.5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 meters per second squared.
