As we know by Newton's law
[tex]F_{net} = ma[/tex]
[tex]F - F_f = ma[/tex]
[tex]F = F_f + ma[/tex]
here we have
[tex]F_f = 1500 N[/tex]
[tex]a = 3.0 m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]F = 1500 + (2000)(3.0) [/tex]
[tex]F = 7500 N[/tex]
so tyre apply net force of 7500 N in forward direction
After some time the SUV is travelling with constant speed
now in this case acceleration is ZERO
so now we will have
[tex]F_{net} = 0 = F - F_f[/tex]
[tex]F = F_f[/tex]
[tex]F = 2500 N[/tex]
