Question

What net force is required to acceleterate car at a rate of 2 m/s² if the car has a mass of 3,000 kg​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6000 \ Newtons}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to calculate a net force. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F= m \times a$

The mass of the car is 3,000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

• m= 3000 kg
• a= 2 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 3000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 6000 \ kg * m/s^2$

Convert the units.  1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 6000 kilogram meters per second squared is equal to 6000 Newtons.

$F= 6000 \ N$

The net force required to accelerate a 3,000 kilogram car at 2 meters per second squared is 6000 Newtons.

Answer 2

Answer:

6000N

Explanation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

          = 3000 x 2

          = 6000 kg m/s^2 or 6000N
