  • Calculating Net Force: A Step-by-Step Guide (1200 kg, 20 m/s²)
    You're close, but there's a small detail to remember! Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²), not just meters (m).

    Here's how to calculate the net force:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion:

    * Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

    Given:

    * Mass (m) = 1200 kg

    * Acceleration (a) = 20 m/s²

    Calculation:

    * Force (F) = 1200 kg × 20 m/s²

    * Force (F) = 24,000 N (Newtons)

    Therefore, the net force on the car is 24,000 Newtons.
