To find the forward force acting on the car, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the car,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- Mass of the car, \( m = 1,302 , \text{kg} \)
- Acceleration, \( a = 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, substituting the values into the equation:
\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \cdot 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]
So, the forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
