Newton's Second Law states that Force = Mass x Acceleration. Since gravitational force is a type of force (hence the name), then it must follow Newton's Second Law. From the information provided, we know that the acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2. However, the problem does not give the mass of the car, so we cannot determine the gravitational force of the car.
