Answer:

force = 21 kg m/s^2 = 21 N

Explanation:

If an object has mass (m) 3 kg, and its acceleration (a) is 7 m/s^2, its force is given by Newton's second law of motion: Force = M * a

Force = 3 kg * 7 m/s^2= 21 kg * m/s^2

This combinations of units (kg * m/s^2) is defined as Newtons in physics and abbreviated "N".

So we can say that the force on this object is of magnitude 21 N
