One type of engine used in space travel is an ion thruster. These engines produce a low force that results in small acceleration changes. If an ion-thrust engine is used to apply 87 millinewtons [mN] of force on a satellite with a mass of 1.4 megagrams [Mg], what is the acceleration produced in units of meters per second squared [m/s2]?
