To determine the mass of a car, a student (with a friend at the wheel) pushes the car holding a bathroom scale
between himself and the car. The scale maintains a constant reading of 505 N while the car
accelerates on level ground. At the conclusion of the experiement, his friend reports that the car accelerated
from rest to 19.2 km/hr in 17.0 s. What was the mass of the car?
