Solution

To find the unbalanced force acting on the dragster, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force = mass x acceleration.

Given: Mass (m) = 1250 kg Acceleration (a) = 16.5 m/s²

We substitute these values into the equation:

Force (F) = m * a Force (F) = 1250 kg * 16.5 m/s² Force (F) = 20625 N

So, the unbalanced force acting on the dragster is 20625 Newtons.
