How much force in Newtons is required to accelerate a 5 kg bowling ball at 2 m/s 2 ?(1 point)

To calculate the force required to accelerate a 5 kg bowling ball at 2 m/s², you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = m \cdot a \), where \( F \) is the force in Newtons, \( m \) is the mass in kilograms, and \( a \) is the acceleration in m/s².

Here:

• \( m = 5 , \text{kg} \)
• \( a = 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \)

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ F = 5 , \text{kg} \times 2 , \text{m/s}^2 = 10 , \text{N} \]

So, the required force is 10 N.
