Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt 600 \ Newtons}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass and the acceleration.

`F=m*a`

The mass of the sled is 300 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

`F= 300 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2`

Multiply.

`F= 600 \ kg * m/s^2`

1 kilogram-meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Therefore, 600 kilograms-meter per second squared is equal to 600 Newtons.

`F= 600 \ N`

The force used on the sled is 600 Newtons.
