A car with a mass of $1600 \text{kg}$ starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of $18 \text{m/s}$ in $10 \text{seconds}$. The frictional force is $500 \text{N}$.

i) Calculate the force required to accelerate the car.

Step 1: Identify the given values.
Mass $m = 1600 \text{kg}$
Initial velocity $u = 0 \text{m/s}$ (starts from rest)
Final velocity $v = 18 \text{m/s}$
Time $t = 10 \text
