Newton's 2nd law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

You need to find the acceleration, so divide each side by (mass):

Acceleration = (Force) / (mass)

Plug in the numbers you know from the question:

Acceleration = (300,000 Newtons) / (20,000 kilograms)

Acceleration = 15 m/s²

This is a huge acceleration. It's 53% faster than a falling rock (gravity).
