To calculate 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,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( a = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[
F = 5 \, \text{kg} \cdot 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 10 \, \text{N}
\]
Therefore, the force required to accelerate the 5 kg object at 2 m/s² is **10 Newtons**.
