To determine the force with which the toy car was pushed, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which is given by the formula:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
In this case:
- The mass \( m = 5 \) kg,
- The acceleration \( a = 3 \) m/s².
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[ F = 5 \, \text{kg} \cdot 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 15 \, \text{N} \]
So, the toy car was pushed with a force of **15 N**.
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
In this case:
- The mass \( m = 5 \) kg,
- The acceleration \( a = 3 \) m/s².
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[ F = 5 \, \text{kg} \cdot 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 15 \, \text{N} \]
So, the toy car was pushed with a force of **15 N**.
