Question

A car accelerates forward at 3.5 m/s2. If the car has a mass of 873 kg, what is the force applied to the car?

Answer 1

3055. 5 kg*m/s2 you do (873kg)(3. 5m/s2)

Answer 2

3055.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 3.5 m/s^2, m = 873 kg

According to the Newton's second law of motion, force acting on a body is the product of mass of body and the acceleration of body.

F = m x a = 873 x 3.5 = 3055.5 N
