To find the force required to accelerate an object, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:

\[ F = m \cdot a \]

where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.

For the toy train:
- \( m = 6.8 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( a = 13 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ F = 6.8 \, \text{kg} \cdot 13 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Calculating that:

\[ F = 88.4 \, \text{N} \]

So, the force required to accelerate the toy train at \( 13 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) is **88.4 Newtons**.
