To find the force needed to give an object an acceleration, 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,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.

In this case:
- The mass \( m = 0.25 \) kg,
- The acceleration \( a = 196 \) m/s².

Now, plug in the values:

\[ F = 0.25 \, \text{kg} \cdot 196 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ F = 0.25 \times 196 = 49 \, \text{N} \]

So, the force needed is **49 N**.

Correct answer: **49 N**.
