A second team of dogs with a net force of 2000 N. The sled is accelerating at 2.2 m/s2. What is the mass of the sled?

Use Newton's second law of motion.  I'm sure I don't have to tell you
what it says, but I will anyway:

            Force = (mass) times (acceleration) .

The question GIVES you two of those numbers, and asks you to find
the third one.

Write the numbers you know into Newton's equation:

            2000 N  =  (mass) times (2.2 m/s²)

Divide each side of that equation by  2.2 m/s², and
what you'll have left will be the mass, in units of kg.
