Answer 1

To find the forward force of the car, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a):

\[ F = m \times a \]

Given:

• Mass of the car (m) = 1,302 kg
• Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

Now, we can calculate the force:

\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \times 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \] \[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]

So, the forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
