As per the question the car has a mass of 12,00 kg.
The engine exerts a force of 600 N. [ here newton i.e N is the unit of force]
We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the particle .
From Newton's second law of motion we know that force acting on a particle is mass times the acceleration of the particle . Mathematically it can be written as-
F = ma [Here F is the applied force,m is the mass which is constant here and ' a' is the acceleration]
Here m =1200 kg
F = 600 N
Hence the acceleration produced due to the force exerted by the engine on car is-
\(a =\frac{F}{m}\)
\(=\frac{600 N}{1200 kg}\)
\(=0.5 m/s^2\) [ans]
