A blue car weighing 1,302 kg is accelerating forward at a rate of 4 m/s 2 . What is the forward force of the car? (1 point) Responses 5,208 N 5,208 N 1,306 N 1,306 N 1,298 N 1,298 N 325.5 N
To calculate the forward force of the car, we 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 that the mass of the car (m) is 1,302 kg and the acceleration (a) is 4 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the equation:
F = 1,302 kg * 4 m/s^2
F = 5,208 N
Therefore, the forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
