Question

What net force is required to accelerate a car at a rate of 2m/s^2 if the car has a mass of 3,000kg? plus explanation with equations? I want to know how to get to the answers.

I've already seen the same question answered, but I want to be able to understand how to get the answer, please.

Answer 1

6000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 3000 kg

acceleration = 2 m/s²

We have

force = 3000 × 2 = 6000

We have the final answer as

6000 N

Hope this helps you
