First we need to know the equation:
F= Mass times acceleration
F = 2.0 kg times 5.0 m/s^2
multiply them to get the net force!
F= 10 N
N is newton
Hope this heps

Answer:

Fn = 10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : Net force acting on the mass or algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration (m/s²)

Data

m = 2.0 kg : mass of the object

a = 5.0 m/s² : acceleration of the object

Calculation of the net force (Fn) acting on the mass

We apply the formula (1)

∑F = m*a, ∑F = Fn

Fn = m*a

Fn = (2.0 kg)* (5.0 m/s²)

Fn = 10 N
