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? 26.75 m/s² 4.28 n 26.75 n 4.28 m/s²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Use Newton's second - law $F = ma$.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 2.5$ kg and $a=10.7$ m/s², so $F=2.5\times10.7$.

Step3: Calculate the force

$F = 26.75$ N.

Answer:

C. 26.75 N
