Question

a car has a mass of 1000kg and accelerates at 2 meters per second per second. what is the magnitude of the net force exerted on the car.

Answer 1

2000N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Acceleration = 2m/s²

Unknown:

The net force exerted on the car = ?

Solution:

From newtons second law of motion;

F = mxa

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

F = 1000 x 2 = 2000N
