A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 meters per second per second. What is the magnitude of the net force exerted on the car?
A) 2000 N
B) 1500 N
C) 1000 N
D) 500 N
E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net force exerted on the car can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the given values, F = 1000 kg * 2 m/s^2 = 2000 N.
