Question

A car has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at a rate of 15 m/s^. What was the force applied?

Answer 1

22500N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1500kg

Acceleration = 15m/s²

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

So

Force = 1500 x 15 = 22500N
