Answer:

  • 16.6 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the relation :

  • Force = Mass x Acceleration

We are given that :

  • Mass = 2.0 kg
  • Acceleration = 8.3 m/s²

Hence, on substituting the values in the equation :

  • F = 2.0 x 8.3
  • F = 16.6 N

The given information is,

→ Mass = 2 kg

→ Acceleration= 8.3 m/s

→ Force = F (in Newton)

Now we have to find the,

→ Amount of force applied to the object.

Formula we use,

→ F = Mass × Acceleration

Then the amount of force will be,

→ F = Mass × Acceleration

→ F = 2 × 8.3

→ [ F = 16.6 N ]

Hence, the amount of force is 16.6 N.
