Answer:

Force acting on the car, F = 8000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 2000 kg

Acceleration of the car,
a=4\ m/s^2

We need to find the force used to accelerate the car. The product of mass and acceleration is called the force exerted to an object. It is given by :


F=m* a


F=2000\ kg* 4\ m/s^2

F = 8000 N

So, the force acting on the car is 8000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
