It would be 3000 I'm pretty sure. The equation is F=ma

Answer:

The answer is Force is equal to 3000N

Step By Step Explanation:

1- Taking into account Newton's second law, we know that the acceleration that a body acquires is directly proportional to that resulting from the forces acting on it, and has the same direction as that resulting.

2-This law is expressed with the formula F = ma where (F) represents force, (m) represents mass and (a) represents acceleration.

3- having this we can continue to replace the given values, in said formula:

F = (1000kg)(3m/s^2)

F = 3000N
