Question - Calculating Force from Mass and Acceleration

To calculate the force (\(F\)) when a mass (\(m\)) is accelerated (\(a\)), use Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\).

Given:

\(m = 5\ \text{kg}\)

\(a = 3\ \text{m/s}^2\)

So,

\(F = m \cdot a = 5 \ \text{kg} \cdot 3 \ \text{m/s}^2 = 15 \ \text{N}\)

Therefore, the force is \(15 \ \text{Newtons} (N)\).
