Accepted Answer

You have said that the car's mass is 1,500 kg, and its acceleration is 2 m/s² .This information leads directly to the net force on the car, by way of Newton's 2nd law of motion:       Force = (mass) x (acceleration)       Force = (1,500 kg) x (2 m/s²) = 3,000 kg-m/s² = 3,000 newtons
