Assuming you meant an acceleration of 40 m/s², we can use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the necessary force:
Newton's Second Law: Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
* Mass (m): 1250 kg
* Acceleration (a): 40 m/s²
Force (F) = 1250 kg * 40 m/s² = 50,000 Newtons (N)
Therefore, a force of 50,000 Newtons is necessary to accelerate the 1250 kg car at a rate of 40 m/s².
