Answer:
[tex]0.25m/s^{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
In this problem we use Newton's Second Law formula:
[tex]A= \frac{F}{M}[/tex]
F is for the force being applied, in this situation. The 500N is being thrust ed by the engine.
Substitute the force and mass:
[tex]A = \frac{500 N}{2000} ms^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{1}{4} ms^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.25m/s^2[/tex]
