The mass of a large car is 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of3m/s
To calculate the force required to accelerate an object, you can use Newton's second law of motion which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
Given:
Mass (m) = 1000 kg
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Using the formula F = m * a, we can substitute the given values to find the force required:
F = 1000 kg * 3 m/s²
F = 3000 kg*m/s²
Therefore, the force required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/s² is 3000 Newtons.
