Without going into a lot of Physics, the easiest way for you to do that is probably as follows:

-- Find the weight of the empty car (check the owner's manual).

-- Find the weight of the passenger (may be a bit more difficult).

-- Add the two numbers.

-- If the weights were in kilograms, then you're done. The sum of the two 'weights'

is actually the mass you're looking for, although the method behind the numbers is

baloney and would not stand up in court.

-- If the weights were in pounds, then divide the sum by 2.205, and you'll have

the mass in kilograms.

What is the mass of the car if the net force on the car is 3000 N east?

To determine the mass of the car, we would need to know the acceleration of the car. Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rearrange the equation to find mass (m = F/a) if we know the acceleration. Without the acceleration value, we cannot calculate the mass of the car based solely on the net force.


What would be the momentum of a passenger bus if its velocity were troubled?

The momentum of the passenger bus would depend on its mass and velocity. To calculate it, multiply the mass of the bus by its velocity. If the velocity is troubled, the momentum would change accordingly, decreasing or increasing depending on the direction and magnitude of the velocity change.

A car weighs 1323 N what is it's mass?

To calculate the mass, we can use the formula: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. Given the weight of the car as 1323 N and the gravitational acceleration as approximately 9.8 m/s^2, we can rearrange the formula to solve for mass: mass = weight / gravitational acceleration, which gives us a mass of approximately 135 kg.
