A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car?

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car,

Acceleration,

We need to find the magnitude of the force exerted on the car.

Solution:

According to Newtons second law, the magnitude of the force acting on the car is equal to the product of the mass of the car and its acceleration.

--------(1)

Where:

F ⇒ Magnitude of the force exerted on the object.

m ⇒ Mass of the object.

a ⇒ Acceleration.

Substitute and in equation 1.

Therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted on the car
