To find the net force acting on the car, subtract the force of air resistance from the engine's forward force.
The engine provides a forward force of 2000 N, and the air resistance is 800 N backward:
Net force = Forward force - Air resistance
Net force = 2000 N - 800 N = 1200 N
The car will move with a net force of 1200 N in the forward direction.
So the correct response is:
**1200 N forward**
The engine provides a forward force of 2000 N, and the air resistance is 800 N backward:
Net force = Forward force - Air resistance
Net force = 2000 N - 800 N = 1200 N
The car will move with a net force of 1200 N in the forward direction.
So the correct response is:
**1200 N forward**
