.CAN someone help lease help me with this physics questions?

An asteroid is found that might crash in to Earth. It is discovered that a small acceleration of only 1.35x10^-3 m/s^2 would be enough to keep it from hitting Earth. If the asteroid has a mass of 2.5x10^8 kg, how much force is needed to save us?
