Answer:
a = 0.8 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the resulting force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration, in this way we come to the following equation:
∑F = m*a
where:
F = forces applied [N]
m = mass = 1000 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Now using Newton's second law.
[tex]1200 - 400 = 1000*a\\800 = 1000 *a\\a=0.8[m/s^{2} ][/tex]
