Mass = 3,000 kg

Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

The net force.

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force = 3,000 kg × 2 m/s^2

Force = 6,000 kg × m/s^2

We know that kg × m/s^2 = Newton.

Hence, the net force required is 6,000 N.

6,000 N is the correct answer.

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6,000 \ Newtons}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

F= m*a

The mass of the car is 3,000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

$m=3,000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 3,000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F=6,000 \ kg*m/s^2$

1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton (N). Therefore, our answer of 6,000 kg*m/s² is equal to 6,000 Newtons.

$F= 6,000 \ N$

The force required is 6,000 Newtons
