F=ma
5x2 = 10N

We use newton’s second rule , to find the force exerted on any object, knowing the rules of newton which are 3 rules are very important in physics.

Answer:

10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume there is no friction and we are only worrying about the horizontal direction. If so we use the formula F=MA to get F= 2 * 5 = 10 N
