Answer:

The answer is

6.0 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force acting on an object when given the mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

Force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass of backpack = 12 kg

acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

So the force is

Force = 12 × 0.5

We have the final answer as

6.0 N

Hope this helps you
