To figure out how much force you need to move a car, you can use this simple formula:

F = ma

Here's what the letters mean:

• F is the force measured in Newtons (N).
• m is the mass of the car measured in kilograms (kg).
• a is the acceleration, which shows how fast the car speeds up, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Let's look at an example.

Imagine we have a car that weighs 1000 kg. We want to speed it up at a rate of 2 m/s².

If we put these numbers into our formula, it looks like this:

F = 1000 kg × 2 m/s² = 2000 N

So, you would need a force of 2000 Newtons to speed up the car like that.

But keep in mind, in the real world, things like friction and other obstacles might mean you need to push harder than this!
