Question

How much force is needed to accelerate a 2000-kg car at 5 m/s/s?

Answer 1

`F = 10,000 N`
The force necessary would b `10,000` Newtons

Explanation:

Using Newton's Second Law that Force is equal to mass times acceleration, `F=ma` and assuming we are not dealing with friction as we have no coefficient of static friction we can set up ar equation as

`F = ?`
`m=2000kg`
`a=5 m/s^2`

`F = (2000kg)(5 m/s^2)`

`F = 10,000 N`
