F1 = Force 1 = 2100 N ( pushing forward)
F2 = Force 2 = 1800N (water resistance force)
m = mass = 1200 kg
First, calculate the net force:
Net force = F1 -F2 = 2100N - 1800N = 300N
Apply the formula:
F = m x a
Where:
a = acceleration
Replace with the values given and solve for a
300 N = 1200 kg x a
300N / 1200 kg = a
a = 0.25 m/s^2
