In outer space, a constant net force of magnitude 137 N is exerted on a 30.8 kg probe initially at rest.What acceleration does this force produce? How far does the probe travel in 13.0 s?

$a = \frac{F}{M}$ $a=F/M$

$a = \frac{137}{30.8}$ $a=137/30.8$

$x = \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$ $x=1/2at^2$

$x = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{137}{30.8} \cdot 13^{2}$ $x=1/2 * 137/30.8 * 13^2$

$x = 375.86$ $x=375.86$
