Question

a car’s engine provides a forward force of 2000 n while the force of air resistance is 825 n in the opposite direction. with what force will the car move, and in which direction? (1 point)
○ 2825 n forward
○ 1175 n backward
○ 16000 n backward
○ 1175 n forward

Explanation:

Step1: Identify forces and directions

The forward force \( F_{forward} = 2000 \, \text{N} \), air resistance (opposite direction) \( F_{resistance} = 825 \, \text{N} \).

Step2: Calculate net force

Net force \( F_{net} = F_{forward} - F_{resistance} \) (since they are in opposite directions).
\( F_{net} = 2000 - 825 = 1175 \, \text{N} \).
The direction is forward because the forward force is greater, so the net force is in the forward direction.

Answer:

D. 1175 N forward (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the original options have labels like A, B, C, D, adjust the label to match the last option with "1175 N forward")
