7/21/22, 7:37 AMProblem Set ThreeNotes: Use 9.8 m/s 2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Formust be expressed in m/sLaw calculations, mass must be expressed in kg and velocity.A space ship has a mass of 75,000 kg. What net force is required to accelerate it to 20 m/s2?

Answer 1

Given:

The mass of the spaceship is

$m=75000\text{ kg}$

The acceleration is,

$a=20\text{ m/s}^2$

To find:

The net force on the spaceship

Explanation:

The net force on the spaceship is

$\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ =75000\times20 \\ =1500000\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the required force is 1500000 N.
