A car of mass m starts from rest and acquires a velocity along east v = vi (v > 0) in two seconds. Assuming the car moves with uniform acceleration, the force exerted on the car is
  1. mv/2 eastward and is exerted by the car engine.
  2. mv/2 eastward and is due to the friction on the tyres exerted by the road.
  3. more than mv eastward exerted due to the engine and overcomes the friction of the road.
  4. mv/2 exerted by the engine.

Answer

(B) mv/2 eastward and is due to the friction on the tyres exerted by the road.
