Answer

$27148Kg$

Work Step by Step

We are given the initial speed = $0\frac{m}{s}$ final speed =$155\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{155\times 1.6\times 10^3}{3600}=68.88\frac{m}{s}$ We know that $v_f=v_i+at$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $6.88=0+a(2)$ $a=34.44\frac{m}{s^2}$ We also know that $F=ma$ This can be rearranged as: $m=\frac{F}{a}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=\frac{9.35\times 10^5}{3.44}$ $m=27148Kg$
