Answer:

W = 9800 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1000 kg

Acceleration of the car, a = 3 m/s²

We need to find the weight of the car. Weight of an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity on the Earth.

W = mg

Put all the values,

W = 1000 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 9800 N

So, the weight of the car is 9800 N.
