A mine railroad car, of mass 200 kg, rolls with negligible friction on a horizontal track with a speed of 10.0 m/s. A 70. kg stunt man drops straight down a distance of 4.0 m, and lands in the car

How fast will the car be moving after this happens?

Newton's second law states: sum of forces = mass × acceleration. If a known force was applied to an object with a known mass, how would you predict that object's acceleration?

A) acceleration = mass × sum of forces B) acceleration = sum of forces / mass C) acceleration = mass / sum of forces D) Newton's second law is irrelevant for solving this problem.
