We'll go along with this, because the math and the Physics are straighforward.

But we're going to have to suspend disbelief for a minute or two, because an

acceleration of 2 miles per second2 = (5,280 x 2) feet per second2 , and that's

about 328 G's, which no astronaut can survive, no matter how well trained he is.

But to answer the question:

F = (mass) x (acceleration) = (1,400 kg) x (3,218.7 meters per sec2) = 4,506,163.2 newtons (rounded)

= roughly 1,013,712 pounds, or 507 tons of force.

=======================

I'm guessing the questioner wanted to say "2 miles per hour per second", but didn't know how.

That would have been a reasonable scenario.

What effect does an object's mass have on forces applied to the object?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'force is needed'. Needed to do what? The Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kg at a rate of 1 m/sec2. Clearly if you double the mass and keep the acceleration the same, the force required is also doubled.


What is the unit you use for energy?

1 Joule is the amount of energy required to move a weight of 1 newton a distance of 1 meter (also known as a newton-meter). It is also used as the unit of work, because work is defined as the expending of energy. The abbreviation is J. It is approximately the amount of energy required to lift a small apple 1 meter above the ground. A2: strictly speaking a Newton is a force rather than a weight, the weight of an object is the product of its mass and the gravitational constant G (9.81 m/sec2). The Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 Kg at 1 m/sec2.


What force must act on a body of mass 50 kg to produce an acceleration of 20m sec2?

The force required can be calculated using Newton's second law, F = ma. Given mass (m) = 50 kg and acceleration (a) = 20 m/s^2, the force (F) would be 1000 N. Hence, a force of 1000 N must act on the body to produce the given acceleration.


Kg-meter by sqsec is the unit to measure?

Kg-meter per square second is a unit of measurement for force, specifically for measuring the amount of force exerted over a specific area. It is commonly used in physics to quantify pressure or stress.


How much work is done lifting a 50 gram weight 20 centimeters?

The upward force needed to lift the mass is slightly larger then the downward force of gravity. The acceleration of an object in free fall is 9.8 m/s² Gravitational force (N) = mass (kg) X gravitational acceleration (m/s²) Force= 25kg X 9.8m/s² Force = 245N

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on an 760 kilogram car What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

The relation between force(F), mass(M), and acceleration(a), is that F = M x a. Now 1 Newton is the force that causes a mass of 1 kg to accelerate at 1 meter/sec2. So if F = 1050 N and M = 760 kg, a = F/M = 1050/760 = 1.382 meters/sec2


What is the formula for calculating the force in newtons when a mass of 5 kg is accelerated at a rate of 2 m/sec2?

The formula for calculating force (F) in newtons is F mass (m) x acceleration (a). In this case, with a mass of 5 kg and acceleration of 2 m/sec2, the force can be calculated as F 5 kg x 2 m/sec2 10 newtons.

What is Meant by a Force?

Force is a term used in dynamics, and it applies to astronomy as well as to the way objects move around on Earth. When you push something you are exerting a physical force on it, in technical language. Force exerted on an object causes it to accelerate, if it is free to move. Newton's second law says that force equals mass times acceleration and this leads to the definition of units of force. The SI unit of force is the Newton and a 1 Newton force acting on a 1 kg mass produces an acceleration of 1 metre/second per second. When an object is dropped, the force of gravity accelerates it, and we know by experiment that a falling object accelerates at 9.8 metre per second per second, so the force of gravity acting on a 1 kg mass is 9.8 Newtons. In other words that is its weight.
