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 Information

* Mass (m) = 700 kg

* Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Calculation

F = 700 kg * 5 m/s²

F = 3500 Newtons (N)

Answer: The force it would take to accelerate a 700-kg car at a rate of 5 m/s² is 3500 Newtons.
