Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ Newtons}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate the force you are applying to a car. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. Therefore, we can use the following formula to calculate force.
[tex]F= m \times a[/tex]
The mass of the car is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 0.5 meters per second squared.
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]F= 2000 \ kg \times 0.05 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]F= 100 \ kg *m/s^2[/tex]
Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 100 kilogram meters per second square is equal to 100 Newtons.
[tex]F= 100 \ N[/tex]
You apply 100 Newtons of force to the car.
