To calculate the net force acting on the object, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which is expressed as:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the net force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- Mass (\( m \)) = 2 kg
- Acceleration (\( a \)) = 3.5 m/s²
Now, substituting the values into the equation:
\[ F = 2 , \text{kg} \cdot 3.5 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 7 , \text{N} \]
Thus, the net force acting on the object is 7 Newtons.
