A car undergoes uniform acceleration from a starting velocity of 10ms^-1 to 20ms^-1 in 10s. Assuming the car's mass is 2000kg, calculate the net force in the direction of the acceleration.

We need to find the net force. We are given a starting and final velocity, the length of time the acceleration took place and the total weight of the car. We can use F=ma to calculate the net force. Since...
