A car’s engine provides a forward force of 2000 N while the force of air resistance is 800 N in the opposite direction. With what force will the car move, and in which direction?(1 point)
Responses
1200 N forward
1200 N forward
1200 N backward
1200 N backward
16000 N forward
16000 N forward
2800 N forward

To find the net force acting on the car, we need to subtract the force of air resistance from the forward force provided by the engine:
Net force = Forward force - Air resistance Net force = 2000 N - 800 N Net force = 1200 N
Since the forward force is greater than the air resistance, the net force will be in the forward direction.
Therefore, the car will move with a net force of 1200 N forward.
