theheronetwork Posted November 13, 2013 Hey I browse this forum a lot and I'm really having some difficulty with my physics homework. The problem is tom pushes a car with a force of 10n for 10s what is the acceleration. I hope you guys can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leo604 Posted November 13, 2013 1. This probably wouldn't go in a Lego forum; Community might be a better spot for academic questions. 2. Are force and time the only information you're given? I haven't done physics in over a year and I'm racking my head as to how to get acceleration from just those 2 variables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't have the mass of the car, you can do nothing ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted November 13, 2013 Distance would help too. Can't do anything at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickadeer Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) In my understanding, if F = 10N, the car won't move. Whether he pushes the car with 1N for 1s or 10 days doesn't really seem to matter. Edited November 13, 2013 by Brickadeer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted November 13, 2013 While it is nice of these other members to want to help, this isn't the forum for such questions. I'd advise that if you really have trouble with it, to seek the help of your teacher or a tutor. I'm sure they can give you an understanding of how to get the answer better than a forum such as ours can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
