Several possibilities: Engine issues -Clogged fuel filter, Crank position sensor or cam position sensor going out intermittently (should throw a code), ignition coil breaking down(unlikely - would usually cause stumbling all the time), bad gas or water in the gas(unlikely),oxygen sensor (would cause one or two jerks during a typical acceleration, should throw a code). If it's the transmission, it may be "slipping" or have a clogged filter or valve body causing hard shifts.

Jerky acceleration in a 98 3800 could be caused by issues with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or dirty fuel injectors. It could also be due to a malfunctioning throttle position sensor or a vacuum leak in the engine. Lastly, a problem with the transmission, such as low Transmission Fluid or a faulty torque converter, could also result in jerky acceleration.

What is the net force when the object encounters 15-N of air resistance?

if its in freefall, constant force down = mass (kg) * gravitational acceleration (about 9.8 on earth), so 100 kg body gives 100 * 9.8 = 98 newtons, subtract your 7 n = 91 n for acceleration .


How do you put a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 3800 series 2 in time?

To put a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 3800 series 2 in time, you will need to locate the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Align these marks according to the manufacturer's specifications, usually found in the vehicle's manual. Ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) before making any adjustments to the timing components. It is recommended to use a timing light to verify the timing once the adjustment is made.

What happens to weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to Jupiter?

The mass of an object stays the same no matter where it is, as it still has the same amount of matter in it (the definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object). However, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on. The equation W = m * g where W is the weight, m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the celestial body (which changes from body to body) shows that an object's weight would change with the planet's gravitational acceleration. For example, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is about 25m/s^2. So let's work out the equations with a 100 kg mass. Earth: W=mg W=100kg*9.8m/s^2 W=98 kg/m/s^2 or 98 newtons Jupiter: W=mg W=100kg*25m/s^2 W=250 kg/m/s^2 or 250 newtons So, (250/98 = ~2.5) things weigh about 2.5 times more on Jupiter, but have the same mass.
