A deep-sea robotic research probe has a mass of 1400 kg.
Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force required to give this probe an acceleration of 0.85 m/s2.
Use the equation:
resultant force=mass×acceleration \text{resultant force} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration} resultant force=mass×acceleration57 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 2.3 Forces and Newton's laws, covering 2.3.1 Newton's first law, 2.3.2 Newton's second law, and 2.3.3 Weight and gravitational field strength. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
