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.
