The force required to accelerate the car can be calculated using Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = m x a).
So, in this case:
Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)
F = 1000 kg x 3 m/sec2
F = 3000 N
Therefore, the force required to accelerate the police car at a rate of 3 m/sec2 is 3000 Newtons.
The police car blocking traffic for Mr. Hermans has a mass of 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec2?
