We can't tell. All we know is that the net force on the ship is

(mass) x (acceleration) = (3,000) x (2.7) = 8,100 newtons.

But that's the combination of the tug pulling one way and the water resistance

pulling the other way. We don't know the magnitude of either of those forces.

We only know what their difference is, from knowing the effect it has on the ship.

A 3 kg cart on a level surface slows down at 15 meters per second squared What is the frictional force accelerating the cart?

The cart is decelerating, not accelerating.


When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?

Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.


What is an accelerating force?

An accelerating force is the force which causes accelerated motion.


When a book sits on a shelf what force if any does the shelf exert on the book?

The shelf must exert an upward force on the book that is exactly equal to the book's weight. If the forces on the bottom of the book were not balanced (did not add up to zero), then the bottom of the book would be accelerating.


Mass of 2 kg accelerating at 40 m per second squared what is the force?

F = m A = (2) (40) = 80 newtons


An example for newton's second law of motion?

By accelerating a 1 kg object at a rate of 1 m/s^2, you exert a force of 1 N on the object.


When you exert a force on an object it exert the?

What force would the scale exert on a 53 kg person standing on it?

On earth, the force would be 116.845 pounds (rounded). That force is exactly equal and opposite to the person's weight. If the sum of the forces on the bottom of his feet were not zero, then he would be accelerating vertically.

If everything exerts a force why do you not get pulled by it?

The objects with bigger masses exert more pulling force. However, even though all the matter around us exert a force, their masses are too small for them to exert a 'feelable' force. But yes, they do exert a force, but its negligible.
