What force is required to give an object with mass 125 kg an acceleration of 3 m/s^2

The force that is required would be 375 Newtons.

force=mass times acceleration

125 x 3 = 375

Force = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²

Explanation:

Force is the product of the mass of a body and the acceleration. Force is usually the push or pull of the mass of an object that is accompanied by the motion (acceleration). Force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. Example is when you throw a ball you apply a push, with the mass of the ball and the acceleration computed you can calculate the force applied.

Mathematically, force can be represented as

Force = mass * acceleration

F = ma

Force is measured in Newton or Kg m/s²

From the question;

mass = 125 kg

acceleration = 3 m/s²

Force = 125 * 3 = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²

Force = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²
