Answer:

2500N

Step-by-step explanation:

f = m.a

m=500 kg

a=5 m/s²

f = 5*500 kgm/s² = 2500 N

For this case we have that by definition, Newton's second law states that:


F = m * a

Where:

F: Force

m: Mass

a: Acceleration

According to the data we have to:


m = 500 \ kg\\a = 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}

Substituting we have:


F = 500kg * 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}\\F = 2,500N

ANswer:

The necessary force is 2,500N
