Answer:
The mass of the vehicle is 1250kg
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Net\ Force = 1500N[/tex]
[tex]Acceleration = 1.2m/s^2[/tex]
Required
Determine the vehicle's mass
This question will be answered using Newton's second law which implies that:
[tex]Net\ Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)[/tex]
In other words:
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
Substitute values for F and a
[tex]1500 = m * 1.2[/tex]
Make m the subject
[tex]m = \frac{1500}{1.2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 1250kg[/tex]
Hence, the mass of the vehicle is 1250kg
