A car with a mass of [tex]m_{\text{push}} = 1250 \, \text{kg}[/tex] is capable of a maximum acceleration of [tex]6.50 \, \text{m/s}^2[/tex]. What force can this car exert?

a) 8125 N
b) 8125 kg
c) 2030 N
d) 2030 kg

Answer :

Final answer:

The force that the car can exert is 8125 N.

Explanation:

The force that a car can exert is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. In this case, the car's mass is given as 1250 kg and its maximum acceleration is given as 6.50 m/s². To calculate the force, we can use the formula:

Force = mass imes acceleration

So, we have:

Force = 1250 kg imes 6.50 m/s² = 8125 N

Therefore, the correct answer is 8125 N (option a).
