Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, F = [tex]m \times a[/tex]
where m = mass
a = acceleration
Since, it is given that mass of car is [tex]1.00 \times 10^{3}[/tex] kg and acceleration is 4.5 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex].
Therefore, calculate the net force as follows.
F = [tex]m \times a[/tex]
= [tex]1.00 \times 10^{3} kg \times 4.5 m/s^{2}[/tex]
= [tex]4.5 \times 10^{3}[/tex] newtons
Thus, we can conclude that the net force on the car is [tex]4.5 \times 10^{3}[/tex] newtons.
