    The three quantities are: acceleration, initial velocity and time

    1. Acceleration

    We can find the acceleration using Newton's Second Law of Acceleration:

    F = ma

    (8,000 N) = (70 kg) (a)

    Solving for a,

    a = 114.286 m/s²

    2. Initial Velocity

    For this quantity, we use the equation for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration.

    2ax = |v² - v₀²|

    where

    x is the distance

    v is the final velocity

    v₀ is the initial velocity

    2 (114.286 m/s²) (0.60 m) = |0² - v₀²|

    Solving for v₀,

    v₀ = 11.71 m/s

    3. Time

    We can determine time fro the formula of acceleration:

    a = |v - v₀|/t

    114.286 m/s² = |0 - 11.71|/t

    Solving for t,

    t = 0.102 seconds
