To find the forward force of the car, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = m * a).

Given:

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

Now, plug in the values:

\[ F = m \cdot a = 1,302 , \text{kg} \cdot 4 , \text{m/s}^2 \]

\[ F = 5,208 , \text{N} \]

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