Answer:
350 N [Forward]
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the equation for force
Force (N) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s²)
or
F = ma
You're given the mass of the stretcher and lion combined is 175kg. Because the lion is in the stretcher, we treat can treat them as one body.
m = 175 kg
You also know the stretcher and lion body is accelerating at 2 m/s².
You have all the information needed to solve.
F = ma
= (175 kg)(2 m/s²)
= 350 N
Because Force is a vector quantity, you have to say the direction. The direction is simply "forward" so make sure to write forward to complete your answer like:
350 N [Forward]
