Answer: 72N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

force acting on an object (F) = ?

Mass of object (M) = 12 kg

Acceleration (A) = 6.0 m/s2

Force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves. Its unit is Newton.

Hence, apply the formula F = ma

F = ma

F = 12kg x 6.0 m/s²

F = 72N

Thus, the force acting on the object is 72 Newton.
