Question

An automobile with a mass of 1108 kg accelerates at a rate of 3 m/s² in the forward direction. What is the net force acting on the automobile?

Answer 1

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

             Net force  =  (mass)  x  (acceleration)

                             = (1,108 kg) x (3 m/s² forward)

                             =    3,324  kg·m/s² forward

                             =    3,324 newtons forward
