Question

A spaceship is accelerating at 1000 m/sec2 . How much force is required from the backthrusters to completely stop the spaceship?

Answer 1

1000x Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

given data

acceleration= 1000 m/s²

The question did not specify the mass of the mass of the space ship.

So, let's assume the mass is x kg

Step two:

Required is the force F in Newton

From Newtons first law, it states that a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.

F=mass x Acceleration

F=ma

Substituting our given data we have

F=1000x Newton
