Question

A 1,200 kg subcompact car accelerates at a rate of 3.0m/s

Answer 1

Missing question (found on internet):
"what is the force of the car?"

Solution:
According to Newton's second law, the force of the car is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

`F=ma`
For the car in the problem,

`m=1200 kg`

`a=3.0 m/s^2`
So the force that accelerates the car is

`F=(1200 kg)(3.0 m/s^2)=3600 N`
