What average net force is required to accelerate a car with a mass of 1200 kg from 0 to 27.0 m/s in 10.0 s?
A) 444 N
B) 1620 N
C) 3240 N
D) 4360 N
E) 11800 N

The average net force can be calculated using the formula F = ma, where m is the mass and a is the acceleration. First, find the acceleration: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time = (27.0 m/s - 0) / 10.0 s = 2.7 m/s². Then, F = 1200 kg * 2.7 m/s² = 3240 N.
