To find 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 (\( m \)) = 1,302 kg
- Acceleration (\( a \)) = 4 m/s²
Now, plugging in the values:
\[ F = 1,302 , \text{kg} \cdot 4 , \text{m/s}^2 = 5,208 , \text{N} \]
The forward force of the car is 5,208 N.
