Here's how to calculate the force using Newton's Second Law of Motion:
* Newton's Second Law: F = m * a
* F = Force (in Newtons)
* m = Mass (in kilograms)
* a = Acceleration (in meters per second squared)
Calculation:
* F = 1500 kg * 3 m/s²
* F = 4500 N
Therefore, a force of 4500 Newtons is needed to move a 1500 kg vehicle at an acceleration of 3 m/s².
