Concepts and reason
The concepts used to solve this problem are Newton’s laws of motion and acceleration.
First calculate the net force acting on the car and then use the expression for the acceleration to rank the cars on the basis of their speed.
Fundamentals
Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object and is represented as follows:
Here, is the net force acting on the object and m is the mass of the object.
The acceleration of the object is the rate of change of velocity of the object and the expression for the acceleration of the object is given by,
Here, is the change in the velocity of the object and
is the time interval in which the velocity of the object is changing.

The expression for the acceleration of the object is given by,
Substitute for
in above equation as follows:
The car accelerates when there is force acting on the car. When there are no forces acting on the car then there is no acceleration and it moves with constant speed of 2 m/s.

From the figure, net force acting on the car 5 is given by,
The expression for the acceleration of the object is given by,
Substitute for
in above equation as follows:
The net force acting on the car 5 is zero because the sum of the two forces acting towards left is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force 10 N.

From the figure, net force acting on the car 6 is given by,
The expression for the acceleration of the object is given by,
Substitute for
in above equation as follows:
There is only one force acting on the car 6 and it is towards right. Hence, the car 6 accelerates.
