So in a coilgun, I need to know how long the electromagnetic field has to be to propel a .336kg mass at 500m/s^2 (a force of 168N) in each coil

There are five coils, each one 1m apart strength of the electric field.

What's the formula to achieve the necessary em field strength to propel the ferromagnetic projectile?
