The driver of an 1,840 kg race car applies the brake to come to a complete stop. If the car
accelerates at -3.4 m/s2 what is the net force acting on the race car?

a) -541 N

b) 630 N

c) -1.8 N

d) -6,256 N

Respuesta :

The answer is A sorry if it’s wrong

Push and pull subjected to an object is called force and is given in newtons. The net force acting on the race car is -6,256 N.

What is force?

Force is the product of the mass of the object in kg and the acceleration in meters per second square. It is given by the formula:

[tex]\rm F = m \times a[/tex]

Given,

Mass of the race car = 1,840 kg

Acceleration of the race car = -3.4

Substituting values in the above equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm F &= \rm m \times a \\\\&= 1840 \times -3.4\\\\&= -6,256 \;\rm N \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, option D. -6,256 N is the force acting on the car.
