A car of mass 1200 kg accelerates from rest at 2.5 m/s squared. What is the resultant force on the car?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 3000 N
- Step 1: Use .
- Step 2: N.
Answer
3000 N.
Why not the others: 480 N divides the mass by the acceleration, 1202.5 N adds the numbers and 12000 N uses 10 m/s squared.
