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

F=ma

Where:

  • F is the force (in Newtons),
  • m is the mass (in kilograms),
  • a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared).

In this case, we have:

  • Mass m=5 kg
  • Acceleration a=2 m/s²

Now, substituting the values into the equation:

F=5,kg2,m/s2=10,N

Therefore, the force required to accelerate the 5 kg bowling ball at 2 m/s² is 10 N.
