Question

1. What net force is required to accelerate a car at a rate of 2 m/s2 if the car has a mass of 3,000 kg?

F =_______

M = _______

A= _______

Answer 1

Net force required to accelerate the car is 6000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

• Force is calculated by the equation, F = Mass × Acceleration

• This is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion which states that the force acting on an object is its mass times the acceleration of the object.

Here, mass = 3000 kg and acceleration = 2 m/s²

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

= 3000 × 2 = 6000 N

⇒ F = 6000 N

⇒ M = 3000 kg

⇒ a = 2 m/s²
