The car with a mass of 4 kg would have an acceleration of [tex]3\;m/s^2[/tex].

Given the following data:

  • Force = 12 Newton
  • Acceleration = [tex]3 m/s^2[/tex]

To find the mass of the car, we would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion:

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by this formula;

[tex]Force = mass \times acceleration[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]12 = mass \times 3\\\\Mass = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]

Mass = 4 kilograms.

Therefore, the car with a mass of 4 kg would have an acceleration of [tex]3\;m/s^2[/tex].
