Answer: 3000 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of large car = 1000 kg.

Acceleration of the car = 3 m/sec2

Force = ?

Recall that force is the product of mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

Thus, Force = Mass x Acceleration

Force = 1000 kg x 3 m/sec2

= 3000 Newton

Thus, 3000 Newton of force would be required to accelerate the car
