A 443.9-N force accelerates a go-cart and its driver from 10.9 m/s to 17.3 m/s in 5.01 s. What is the mass of the go-cart plus driver?
-
Force = Mass x Acceleration
So Mass = Force / Acceleration
We are given the force but we need to calculate the acceleration.
Acceleration = (Change in Velocity) / Time
Acceleration = (17.3 - 10.9) / 5.01 m/s².
Acceleartion = 1.27745 m/s².
Mass = 443.9 / 1 27745 kg
Mass = 347.5 kg
So Mass = Force / Acceleration
We are given the force but we need to calculate the acceleration.
Acceleration = (Change in Velocity) / Time
Acceleration = (17.3 - 10.9) / 5.01 m/s².
Acceleartion = 1.27745 m/s².
Mass = 443.9 / 1 27745 kg
Mass = 347.5 kg

F = ma
F = 443.9 (N) (kgms^-2)
a = (17.3 - 10.9) / 5.01 = 6.40 / 5.01 = 1.277.. ms^-2
m to be found
F = ma
m = F/a
m = 443.9 kgms^-2 / 1.277.. ms^-2
m = 347.49 kg
F = 443.9 (N) (kgms^-2)
a = (17.3 - 10.9) / 5.01 = 6.40 / 5.01 = 1.277.. ms^-2
m to be found
F = ma
m = F/a
m = 443.9 kgms^-2 / 1.277.. ms^-2
m = 347.49 kg
