A blue car weighing 1,302 kg is accelerating forward at a rate of 4 m/s2 . What is the forward force of the car? (1 point) Responses 1,306 N 1,306 N 325.5 N 325.5 N 5,208 N 5,208 N 1,298 N
To find the forward force of the car, you can use Newton's second law of motion which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a): F = m*a.
Given:
mass (m) = 1,302 kg
acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²
Substituting the given values into the formula:
F = 1,302 kg * 4 m/s²
Performing the calculation:
F = 5208 N
So, the forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
