To find the force required to accelerate the bowling ball, 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 meters per second squared.
Given:
- Mass (\( m \)) = 5 kg
- Acceleration (\( a \)) = 2 m/s²
Calculating the force:
\[ F = m \cdot a = 5 , \text{kg} \cdot 2 , \text{m/s}^2 = 10 , \text{N} \]
So, the force required to accelerate the bowling ball at \( 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \) is 10 N.
