A rocket sled speeds up from 40 meters per second to 55 meters per second in 5.0 seconds, using an engine that produces 3500 N of thrust.?

How much thrust would be needed to get the same increase in speed in 2.0 seconds?

Δvelocity = M= A =Time = F=Physics

    3500 =  m*(55-40)/5

    m = 3500*5/15 = 3500/3 kg

    Fi = m*15/2 = 3500*15/6 = 3500*5/2 = 8750 N

    (55m/s-40m/s)/5s = 3m/s² = F/mass = 3500/mass

    mass = 3500/3 = 1167kg

    (55-40)/2s = 7.5m/s² = F/1167

    F = 7.5*1167 = 8750N <<<<<
