Question

A 800kg car produces a motive force of 10,000N.

As it accelerates from rest it experiences a frictional resistance of 2,000N.

What is the net force acting on the car?

Answer 1

the net force on the car is 8,000 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 800 kg

motive force of the car, F = 10,000 N

frictional force experienced by the car, Fk = 2,000 N

The net force on the car is calculated as;

∑F = F - Fk

∑F = 10,000 - 2,000

∑F = 8,000 N

Therefore, the net force on the car is 8,000 N.
