Magnitude of its acceleration.....

Question

Consider a supertanker, with a mass of 7.0×10^8 kg. If it is pushed by a rocket motor (force 6.0×10^6 N) and is subject to no other forces, what will be the magnitude of its acceleration?

Express your answer using two significant figures in m/s^2.

Answer 1

A newton (N) is defined as a (kg)(m/s^2). So just divide the force by the mass and you will get your answer.

Example:

((kg)(m/s^2)) / (kg) = m/s^2
