Question

How much force is needed to accelerate a Kia Soul with a
mass of 1200 kg to 5 m/s2?

Answer 1

Given :-

• Mass = 1200 kg
• Acceleration = 5 m/s²

To Find :-

Force

Solution :-

We know that

F = ma

F = Force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 1200 × 5

F = 6000 N

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6,000 \ Newtons}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

`F=ma`

The mass of the Kia Soul is 1200 kilograms and its acceleration is 5 meters per square second.

`m= 1200 \ kg \\a= 5 \ m/s^2`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`F= 1200 \ kg * 5 \ m/s^2`

Multiply.

`F= 6000 \ kg*m/s^2`

• 1 kilgram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
• Our answer of 6000 kg*m/s² equals 6000 N

`F= 6000 \ N`
