Question

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1,800kg car at rate of 1.5 m/s2?

Answer 1

Given data:

acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s² ,

           mass (m) = 1800 Kg ,

        Determine F = ?

         From Newtons II law

                          F = m.a   N

                              = 1800× 1.5

                             = 2700 N

2700 N force needed to accelerate the car
