Find the force it would take to accelerate an 800-kg car at a rate of 5m/s2.


Sagot :

Force= mass•acceleration

Force=800•5

Force=4000 N

Answer:

4000 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, a resultant force is equal to mass times acceleration. i.e

[tex]F_{net} = ma = 800 kg * 5 m/s^{2}   = 4000 N[/tex]

So assuming that there is no other force that is acting on this car, a force of 4000 N would cause the acceleration mentioned in the question.
