A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed straight backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 1000 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 100.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.50 m/s2 backward. What is the magnitude of the force that the grass exerts on the losing player's feet?(Answer in Newtons)
