What force is required to give an object with mass 125 kg an acceleration of 3 m/s^2

Force  = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²

Explanation:

Force is the product of the mass of a body and the acceleration . Force is usually the push or pull of the mass of an object that is accompanied by the motion(acceleration). Force is a vector quantity  because it has both magnitude and direction. Example is when you throw a ball you apply a push, with the mass of the ball and the acceleration computed you can calculate the force applied .

Mathematically, force can be represented as

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Force is measured in Newton or Kg m/s²

From the question;

mass  = 125 kg

acceleration = 3 m/s²

Force = 125 × 3 = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²

Force  = 375 Newton or 375 kg m/s²
