  • Calculating Force Needed to Accelerate a Car: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the force:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states: Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a).

    * F = m * a

    Applying the Formula

    1. Mass (m): 900 kg

    2. Acceleration (a): 6 m/s²

    Calculation

    F = 900 kg * 6 m/s²

    F = 5400 N (Newtons)

    Answer: The force it would take to accelerate a 900-kg car at a rate of 6 m/s² is 5400 Newtons.
