Push and pull subjected to an object is called force and is given in newtons. The net force acting on the race car is -6,256 N.
Force is the product of the mass of the object in kg and the acceleration in meters per second square. It is given by the formula:
[tex]\rm F = m \times a[/tex]
Given,
Mass of the race car = 1,840 kg
Acceleration of the race car = -3.4
Substituting values in the above equation:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm F &= \rm m \times a \\\\&= 1840 \times -3.4\\\\&= -6,256 \;\rm N \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, option D. -6,256 N is the force acting on the car.
