Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ Newtons}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate the force you are applying to a car. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. Therefore, we can use the following formula to calculate force.


F= m * a

The mass of the car is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 0.5 meters per second squared.

  • m= 2000 kg
  • a= 0.05 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.


F= 2000 \ kg * 0.05 \ m/s^2

Multiply.


F= 100 \ kg *m/s^2

Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 100 kilogram meters per second square is equal to 100 Newtons.


F= 100 \ N

You apply 100 Newtons of force to the car.
