In a crash test, a 2,500 kg car hits a concrete barrier at 1.3 m/s2.

Calculate the amount of force at which the car strikes the barrier.

The car strikes the barrier with a force of

Answer 1

To solve this problem you would multiply the mass (2,500 kg) by the acceleration ( 1.3 m/s²)

2,500 x 1.3

= 3,250 Newtons of Force

Here's your answer! :)

Answer 2

Multiplying the mass and the acceleration you get 3250 as your force
