The acceleration of a car is 5,000. After the car leaves the platform, gravity causes it to accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8m/s². What is the gravitational force on the car?

The gravittional force on the car is

(9.8) x (the car's mass in kg).

The unit is Newtons.

This force acts on the car even while it's still on the platform.
