Question

. A little car has a maximum acceleration of 2.57 m/s2. What is the new maximum acceleration of the little car if it tows another car that has the same mass?

Answer 1

Answer:

$a'=1.285\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of a little car and m' be the mass of another car.

We know that,

Force = mass × acceleration

ATQ,

m × a = 2m × a'

a = 2 × a'

$a'=\dfrac{a}{2}\\\\a'=\dfrac{2.57}{2}\\\\a'=1.285\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of another little car is equal to $1.285\ m/s^2$.
