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
2800 N forward
2800 N forward
1200 N forward
1200 N forward
16000 N forward
16000 N forward
1200 N backward
The force with which the car will move and its direction can be determined by finding the net force acting on the car. The net force is the difference between the force provided by the engine and the force of air resistance.
Net force = Force provided by the engine - Force of air resistance
Net force = 2000 N - 800 N
Net force = 1200 N forward
Therefore, the car will move with a force of 1200 N in the forward direction.
