- Mass of the car, m = 3000 kg
- Acceleration of the car, a = 2 m/s²
To find:
- The net force required, F
The net force required to accelerate an object is given by Newton's second law of motion:
```
F = m * a
```
Substituting the given values into the formula:
```
F = 3000 kg * 2 m/s²
```
```
F = 6000 N
```
Therefore, a net force of 6000 N is required to accelerate the car at a rate of 2 m/s².
