How much force is required to give a 45,000-kg ship an acceleration of 15 m/sec2?

give your answer in newtons

The answer to your question is F = 675000 N

Explanation:

Data

mass = 45000 kg

acceleration = 15 m/s²

force = ? N

To solve this problem use Newton's second law that states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied to it and indirectly proportional to its mass.

Formula

a = F/m

-Solve for F

F = ma

-Substitution

F = (45000) (15)

-Result

F = 675000 N
