Physics

To find the net force acting on the car, we can use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done by the net force is equal to the change in kinetic energy.

 

Calculate the initial kinetic energy

Since the car starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero:

 

Calculate the final kinetic energy

The final kinetic energy of the car is given by:

 

Where:

(mass of the car),

(final velocity of the car).
