A force of 8480 is applied to a car to decelerate it at a rate of 32.0 m s squared. What is the mass of the car?

Given data

Force (F) = 8480 N,

acceleration (a) = - 32 m/s²,

mass of the car (m) = ?

We know that, from Newtons II law,

F = m. a

=> m = F : a,

= 8480 : (-32)

= 265 Kg (Neglect negetive sign)

Mass of the car is 265 Kg
