Question

A car has a mass of 1.00 × 103 kilograms, and it has an acceleration of 4.5 meters/second2. What is the net force on the car?

Answer 1

The answer is C                                                                                                                 hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,       F = $m \times a$

where           m = mass

                     a = acceleration

Since, it is given that mass of car is $1.00 \times 10^{3}$ kg and acceleration is 4.5 $m/s^{2}$.

Therefore, calculate the net force as follows.

                         F = $m \times a$

                            =  $1.00 \times 10^{3} kg \times 4.5 m/s^{2}$

                            = $4.5 \times 10^{3}$ newtons

Thus, we can conclude that the net force on the car is $4.5 \times 10^{3}$ newtons.
