Question

Using Newton's second law of motion, calculate the force necessary to accelerate a race car with a mass of 1100 kg to an acceleration of 25 m/s2.

Answer 1

In order to find the neccessary force, we can use Newton's second law

F = ma

The mass is 1100 Kg and the acceleration required is 25 m/s^2

plugging the numbers in

F = 1100(25) = 27500 Newtons
