Question

What force is needed to give a 2,000 kg car an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2

Answer 1

Answer: 3000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

`F=m.a`

`F` is the force

`m=2000 kg` is the mass of the car

`a=1.5 m/s^(2)` is the car's acceleration

Solving:

`F=(2000 kg)(1.5 m/s^(2))`

`F=3000 N`
