Assuming the acceleration is 1.5 m/s², we can use Newton's second law of motion to find the force:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
* Mass (m): 2000 kg
* Acceleration (a): 1.5 m/s²
F = 2000 kg * 1.5 m/s² = 3000 N
Therefore, a force of 3000 Newtons is needed to give a 2000 kg car an acceleration of 1.5 m/s².
