Answer:

20 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second Law of motion law states that If there is a external force acting on an object. Then the rate of change of momentum of that object is directly proportional to the force acting on its.

  • the net force acting upon the object (F)
  • the mass of the object. (m)
  • V Final velocity of the object
  • U initial velocity of the object
  • mV -Final momentum of the object
  • mU - Initial momentum of the object

Due to momentum change of that object, momentum change. We can write the equation bellow this,

F = (mV-mU)/t

When m is constant we can write the above expression like this,

F = m (V-U)/t

There for

(V-U)/t = a ( Rate of change of velocity can be denoted as acceleration )

F = m× a

we can state this in mathematically,

a = F/m

in another representation

F = m*a

Net Force = mass*acceleration

= 10 * 2

= 20 N

object is subjected to a negative acceleration due to the friction.
