How much force needs to be applied to get a body to a new position time?

Question

I have a physics body with a mass m and existing non zero linear velocity v and position p. How much force needs to be applied to get it to a new position pn in t seconds?

Answer 1

The ever useful kinematics equation: $$d = v_0t + \frac12at^2$$ Can be used to find the neccesary acceleration. Then Newton's second law: $$F = ma$$ Can be used to find force.
