An object has a mass of 24.0 kg and is accelerated horizontally at 4.0 m/s2. What is the force required?

This may look familiar ...

F = ma

96

To find the force required, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).

In this case, the mass of the object is given as 24.0 kg, and the acceleration is given as 4.0 m/s^2.

So, the force required can be calculated as:

F = m * a

F = 24.0 kg * 4.0 m/s^2

F = 96.0 kg*m/s^2

Therefore, the force required is 96.0 Newtons.
