Explain.

Hellow!

First, lets recabe information:

m (mass) = 1500 kg

a (aceleration) = 3 m/s²

F (Force) = ?

For calculate Force, if we have mass and aceleration, we can applicate the second law of Newton:

"Force is proportional to the product of the mass plus aceleration."

In a equation, this is like:

F = m * a

Let's replace according we information, and let's resolve:

F = 1500 kg * 3 m/s²

F = 4500 N

Result:

The force applicated is of 4500 Newtons.

Gud Luck!
