The correct answer to the question is : 4000 N
EXPLANATION:
As per the question, the mass of the roller coaster is given as m = 2000 kg
The acceleration of the roller coaster is given as a = 2m/s2
We are asked to calculate the net force acting on the roller coaster.
From Newton's second laws of motion,we know that net external force acting on a particle is equal to the product of mass with acceleration of the particle.
Mathematically it is written as-
F = ma
Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is calculated as-
F = 2000Kg×2m/s2
= 4000 N.
Here, Newton (N) is the unit of force.
Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.
