Answer:

C. 27.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The force on an object that has a mass of 3.4 kg and an acceleration of 8.1 m/s is 27.5 N.

F = (3.4)(8.1)

F = 27.54

Answer:

C. 27.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma is the equation given to you, in which:

F = force

m = mass = 3.4 kg

a = acceleration = 8.1 m/s

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

F = (3.4)(8.1)

F = 27.54

C. 27.5 N is your closest answer when rounded to the nearest tenths.
