A man has three friends help him push his stalled car on a horizontal surface. The friends push with a constant total force of 1200 N. How far must the car be pushed, starting from rest, so that its final kinetic energy is 4200 J? (Disregard friction.)

The Disregard friction of the given problem is 3.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula,

Disregard friction= Final kinetic energy / Constant total force

Disregard friction=4200J/1200N

Disregard friction=3.5m

The Disregard friction of the given problem is 3.5 m
