To determine the forward force exerted by 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 object, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- Mass (\( m \)) of the car = 1,302 kg
- Acceleration (\( a \)) = 4 m/s²
Now we can calculate the force:
\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \times 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]
Thus, the forward force of the car is 5,208 Newtons.
