Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6000 \ Newtons}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate a net force. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.
[tex]F= m \times a[/tex]
The mass of the car is 3,000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]F= 3000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]F= 6000 \ kg * m/s^2[/tex]
Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 6000 kilogram meters per second squared is equal to 6000 Newtons.
[tex]F= 6000 \ N[/tex]
The net force required to accelerate a 3,000 kilogram car at 2 meters per second squared is 6000 Newtons.
