Question

The frictional force on moving Toyota Prius is - 259.7 N. Using the calculated net force from problem 4, determine the force of the engine needed to cause the acceleration. Show your work.

Answer 1

Complete Question

The frictional force of moving Toyota Prius was given as - 259.7 N. net force was 795 N and determined the force of the engine needed to cause the acceleration

Answer:

The value is
`F_e = 1054.7 \ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frictional force is
`F_f = -259.7 \ N`

The net force is
`F_(net) = 795 \ N`

Generally the net force is mathematically represented as

`F_(net) = F_e - F_f`

=>
`F_e = F_(net) - F_f`

=>
`F_e = 795 - [-259.7]`

=>
`F_e = 1054.7 \ N`
