Question

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car

Answer 1

Answer:

8.71 x 10^3N - C

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

mass = 1.7 x 10^3 and acceleration = 4.75m/s^2

Force = 1.7 x 10^3 x 4.75 = 8075N = 8.71 x 10^3N

Answer 2

Answer:

8,075N

Step-by-step explanation:

The information we have is:

Mass:

$m=1.7x10^3kg$

Acceleration:

$a=4.75m/s^2$

We are asked to find the force that is necessary to create that acceleration in the given mass.

For this we use the equation of Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

and now we susbtitute all the values into the equation to find the force $F$:

$F=(1.7x10^3kg)(4.75m/s^2)\\F=8,075N$

The magnitude of the force required is 8,075N
