Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a):

* F = m * a

Applying the Formula

* m = 2000 kg (mass of the car)

* a = 4 m/s² (acceleration of the car)

F = 2000 kg * 4 m/s² = 8000 Newtons (N)

Therefore, it takes 8000 Newtons of force to accelerate a 2000 kg car at 4 m/s².
