Question

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg is accelerating at a rate of

2.0 m/s². If the force of wind resistance is 200.0 N, how
much force does the ground exert on the tires to propel
the car forward, assuming the tires do not slip?

Answer 1

The net force acting on the car is

3

×

10

3

Newtons.

Hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,

⇒

F

=

m

a

Substituting the above given values we get,

F

=

(
