Answer:

Force = 300N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 20kg

Acceleration = 15m/s²

To find the force?

Force is given by the formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 20 * 15

Force = 300N

Therefore, the amount of force the

security guard used is 300 Newton.
