that the car is exerting to accelerate at that rate ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Convert the speed of 60 mph to meters per second.


    Next find the acceleration "a" in m/s^2, dividing the speed in meters per second by the time of 8.8 seconds.


    Then your final step is to multiply the given mass by the value of the acceleration "a" in meters per seconds.


    By doing this way, you will get the answer (the force) in Newtons.

Having my step-by-step instructions, boldly go forward.
