Answer:

The answer is 40 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 50 kg

acceleration = 0.8 m/s²

We have

Force = 50 × 0.8

We have the final answer as

40 N

Hope this helps you
