Nathan has a car that accelerates at 5 m/s2. If the car has a mass of

Answer 1

Answer:

F = 5000 [N] or 5 [kN]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must take into account Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces applied on a body must be equal to the product of the mass of the body by its acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 1000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

F = (1000*5)

F = 5000 [N] or 5 [kN]
