Question

a pumpkin with a mass of 2.5 kg was pushed toward a wall. the average acceleration of the pumpkin was 10.7 m/s². how much force was applied to the pumpkin to make it move? 4.28 m/s² 4.28 n 26.75 m/s² 26.75 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Force formula: $F = m \times a$

Step2: Substitute given values

$m = 2.5\ \text{kg}$, $a = 10.7\ \text{m/s}^2$
$F = 2.5 \times 10.7$

Step3: Calculate the result

$F = 26.75\ \text{N}$

Answer:

26.75 N
