Question

A car has a mass of 1200 kg and an acceleration of 4 m/s^2. What is the resultant force on the car?

Answer 1

Answer:

4800N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 1200kg

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Unknown:

Resultant force on car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's first law of motion:

     Force  = mass x acceleration

 Insert parameters and solve;

   Force  = 1200 x 4  = 4800N
