A car’s engine provides a forward force of 2000 N while the force of air resistance is 800 N in the opposite direction. With what force will the car move, and in which direction?(1 point) Responses 16000 N forward 16000 N forward 1200 N backward 1200 N backward 2800 N forward 2800 N forward 1200 N forward
The force of the car's engine pushing it forward is 2000 N, and the force of air resistance pushing it backward is 800 N. To determine the net force and direction, we can subtract the force of air resistance from the force of the car's engine:
2000 N - 800 N = 1200 N
Therefore, the car will move with a net force of 1200 N in the forward direction. So the correct answer is 1200 N forward.
