To find the magnitude of the force acting on the sports car, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \times a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- mass \( m = 1500 \, \text{kg} \)
- acceleration \( a = 5.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, we can substitute the values into the equation:
\[ F = 1500 \, \text{kg} \times 5.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ F = 7500 \, \text{N} \]
So, the magnitude of the force acting on the sports car is **7500 N**.
\[ F = m \times a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- mass \( m = 1500 \, \text{kg} \)
- acceleration \( a = 5.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, we can substitute the values into the equation:
\[ F = 1500 \, \text{kg} \times 5.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ F = 7500 \, \text{N} \]
So, the magnitude of the force acting on the sports car is **7500 N**.
