    Answer: a) 2040N b) 310N

    Step-by-step explanation

    Force is defined as an external agency that causes a body to accelerate or change its position. Therefore the formula for acceleration is given by Force = mass of the body * acceleration.

    Applying this formula to the given question

    a) The net force on the car will then be F = 1020 * 2 which gives 2040N (mass of the car being 1020kg)

    b) The net force on the trailer will then be F = 310 * 2 which gives 620N (mass of the trailer being 310kg)
