Noelle Cross · Answer 1

According to Newtons laws of motion F = MA. This means Force = Mass x Acceleration.

So ...

4 x 1650 = 66,000

The units for Force is Newtons

So the answer is 66,000 Newtons

Jarrett Frazier · Answer 2

F = M A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (1,650 kg) (4 m/s²) = 6,600 kg-m/s² = 6,600 Newtons
