Answer:

The sum of forces acting on the object is 1.6 N

Explanation:

F = force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

F = ma

or rather:

Sum of all Fs = ma

The sum of all forces refers to all forces acting to move the object fowards (e.g. force produced by the engine of a car) take all forces acting to stop the object moving forward (e.g. friction or air resistance)

In this case:

F = 0.08 × 20

F = 1.6 N
