2. The graph shows the total resistive force that acts on a car of mass 830 kg over a period of time. The car is at rest at t = 0 s. A constant driving force of 2500 N acts on the car from t = 2 s to t = 24 s.

Which statement is incorrect?

1. The car is stationary from t = 0 s to t = 2 s.

2. The resultant force acting on the car increases from t = 2 s to t = 16 s.

3. The acceleration of the car is 3.0 m/s2 at t = 2 s.

4. The acceleration of the car is zero after t = 16 s.
