If a 2,000-kilogram car accelerates at a rate of 3 meters
per second squared, what is the force the engine applied
to the car?
Help pleaseeee!!!

Sagot :

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependant on the amount of force applied and the mass of the object itself, which is illustrated by the equation

                                                       [tex]F \ = \ ma[/tex],

where [tex]F[/tex] is the force applied, [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object and [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration.

Therefore,

                                                    [tex]F \ = \ (2000 \ \text{kg})(3 \ \text{m\,s}^{-2}) \\ \\ F \ = \ 6000 \ \text{N}[/tex]

Hence, 6000 N of force is applied by the engine to the car.
