To calculate the forward force of the car, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a):
\[ F = m \times a \]
In this case, the mass (m) of the blue car is 1,302 kg, and the acceleration (a) is 4 m/s².
So, substituting the values in:
\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \times 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \] \[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]
The forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
