Answer:

The net force is 50 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical Force

According to Newton's second law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F=m.a

Where a is the acceleration produced on the object.

We are given the mass of the object m=5 kg and its acceleration
a=10\ m/s^2.

The net force is:

F = 5 * 10

F = 50 N

The net force is 50 Newton
