Question

9. A car accelerates at 3m/s2 along a straight horizontal road. The mass of the car is 1000
kg. A forward force acts on the car in the right direction of magnitude 3500 N. Find
the magnitude of the resistance force acting in the left direction

Answer 1

Answer:

500N

Explanation:

force is given by

F=ma

F=1000×3=3000N

total force in forward 3500N but only 3000N is able to accelarate car so remaining 3500-3000=500N is resisting the motion.
