1. Find the net force:
* Net force is the total force acting on the object.
* In this case, the net force is the driving force minus the frictional force:
* Net force (F_net) = Driving force (F_drive) - Frictional force (F_friction)
* F_net = 2350 N - 450 N = 1900 N
2. Apply Newton's Second Law of Motion:
* Newton's Second Law states: F_net = m * a
* Where:
* F_net is the net force
* m is the mass of the object
* a is the acceleration
3. Solve for acceleration:
* Rearrange the equation to solve for acceleration:
* a = F_net / m
* a = 1900 N / 1650 kg
* a ≈ 1.15 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is approximately 1.15 m/s².
