ANSWER:

16 N

Explanation:

The force is given by the multiplication of the mass and the acceleration, like this:


\begin{gathered} f=m\cdot a \\ m=2.5\text{ kg} \\ a=6.4(m)/(s^2) \end{gathered}

We repalce and calculate the force, like this:


\begin{gathered} f=2.5\cdot6.4 \\ f=16\text{ N} \end{gathered}

The force is 16 newtons
