Students have asked these similar questions
At a given instant in time, an 8-kg rock that has been dropped from a high cliff experiences an upward force of air
resistance of 12 N.
What is the gravitational force on the rock? Use g= 9.8 m/s2. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)
The gravitational force on the rock is
N.
The mass of a subway car and passengers is 34,500 kg. If its acceleration as it leaves a station is 0.6 m/s2, what is the net force (in N) acting on it? I am not sure the formula for this
A train, starting from rest, accelerates 1 m/s/s for 20 seconds. What is the train's speed after 20 seconds? How far does the train go in the 20 seconds?

I actually know the answer to this question, because I keep getting it marked as wrong - the answer is supposed to be 4178, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. I thought it would be as simple as finding the acceleration, then multiplying by mass, but I've tried converting kg to g, tried the law of equal and oppositie reaction, tried the car's mass, tried the truck's mass, but I never even get close to the answer I've been given. The AI function on Bartleby, which I have often found quite useful, also can't get 4178. If anyone could send me the specific steps involved in getting this answer, I would be so grateful - thank you so much!
