Answer 1

To calculate the forward force of the car, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a):

\[ F = m \cdot a \]

Where:

• \( m = 1,302 , \text{kg} \) (mass of the car)
• \( a = 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration)

Now, calculating the force:

\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \times 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \]

\[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]

So the correct answer is:

5,208 N
