Answer:

1768 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:


F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a car of mass

m = 884 kg

And its acceleration is


a=2 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation, we find the net force on the car:


F=(884)(2)=1768 N
