Question

If a 2,300 kg car is accelerating at 16 m/s^2, what is the force it is producing?

Answer 1

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

In order to accelerate the car at that rate, a force of

                  (2,300 kg) x (16 m/s²) = 36,800 newtons
                                               (about  8,270 pounds ... 4.14 tons !)

has to be coming from somewhere ... presumably from the straining,
screaming, smoking engine under the hood.

The force it might apply to an object it runs into will depend on the
shape and composition of that object.
