Answer:

Net force = 11340 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of an automobile, m = 2100 kg

Acceleration of the automobile, a = 5.4 m/s²

We need to find the net force required for the automobile. The net force is the product of mass and acceleration. It can be given by the formula as follows :


F=ma\\\\F=2100\ kg* 5.4\ m/s^2\\\\F=11340\ N

So, the net force is 11340 N.
