Which excerpt are you talking about?
Answer:
F-ma
Explanation:
If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:
Force
=
Mass × Acceleration
often written:
F
=
m
a
The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.

We know, momentum = mass * speed
25kgm/s = 2 kg * s
s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s
Speed = (acceleration) x (time)
Velocity = (speed) in (direction of the speed)
Speed = (-3 m/s²) x (5 s) = 15 m/s
Velocity =
(15 m/s) in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.
Displacement = (distance between start-point and end-point)
in the direction from start-point to end-point.
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²
Distance = (1/2) (3 m/s²) (5 s)²
= (1/2) (3 m/s²) (25 s²) = 37.5 meters
Displacement =
37.5 meters in the direction opposite to the direction you call positive.
