Answer:

3000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate it.

This law can be expresses as F=ma,

where

  • F - force acting on an object
  • m- the mass of an object
  • a - its acceleration

The more mass an object has, the more force you need to accelerate it. And the greater the force, the greater the object's acceleration.

F = ma

F = 1000×3

= 3000 N
