Question

A car that has a mass of 2500kg accelerates to 4 m/s^2. The force in Newton’s that is applied to the car is?

Answer 1

We can find the force that is applied to the car from the Newton's Second Law of Motion:

$$F = ma = 2500 \ kg \cdot 4 \ \dfrac{m}{s^2} = 10000 \ N.$$

Answer:

$F = 10000 \ N.$
