Question

the mass of a large car is 1000 kg. how much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec²? hint: look at the units carefully. two images: one of a red car with a person standing, one with a person pushing the red car options: 3000 n, 3000 n/kg², 300 n, 1000 n

Explanation:

Step1: Use Newton's second law

$F = m \times a$

Step2: Substitute values

$F = 1000\ \text{kg} \times 3\ \text{m/s}^2 = 3000\ \text{N}$

Answer:

A. 3000 N
