A car has a mass of 1.00 × 103 kilograms, and it has an acceleration of 4.5 meters/second2. what is the net force on the car?
Explanation:
Force is the product of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, F = m × a
It is given that mass of car is \(1.00 \times 10^{3}\) kilograms and acceleration is 4.5 \(m/s^{2}\).
Therefore, calculate the net force on car as follows.
F = m × a
= \(1.00 \times 10^{3} kg \times 4.5 m/s^{2}\)
= \(4.5 \times 10^{3} kg m/s^{2}\)
Thus, we can conclude the net force on the car is \(4.5 \times 10^{3} kg m/s^{2}\).
