Answer 1

100

Step-by-step explanation:

F = m * a

Given that the mass (m) of the toy car is 20 grams (or 0.02 kilograms, since 1 kilogram = 1000 grams) and the acceleration (a) is 5 m/s^2, we can plug these values into the formula to calculate the force (F):

F = 0.02 kg * 5 m/s^2 = 0.1 N

So, the amount of force required to accelerate the 20 gram toy car at 5 m/s^2 is 0.1 N, which is equivalent to 100 N when rounded to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 N.
