Answer:

The speed of the car will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

From idea of momentum, force is directly proportional to velocity


{ \bf{f \: \alpha \: v}} \\ { \rm{f = kv}}

Initially, f = 25N and v = 3 m/s


{ \rm{25 = k * 3}} \\ \\ { \rm{k = (25)/(3) }}

Lastly, f = 35


{ \rm{f = (25)/(3)v }} \\ \\ { \rm{35 = (25)/(3) * v}} \\ \\ { \rm{v = (3 * 35)/(25) }} \\ \\ { \rm{v = 4.2} }
