Question

A car has a mass of 1,500 kg. If the car has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s, what is the net force acting on the car? (use F = ma, answer will be in Newtons)

Answer 1

So, sum of the forces (or net force) = MA

In order to solve this equation, we just plug our numbers in,

`\sum F=MA\\\sum F=1500kg*2.0m/s\\\sum F= 3000N`

3000N
