Spencer Powers · Answer 1

The force you need to apply would be 15 N.

Explanation:

To find the Force you need to apply, you have to use Newton's second law (F = m x a).

F = m x a ⇒ F = 5 kg x 3 m/s²⇒ F = 15 N.

The force would be 15 N.

Weiner · Answer 2

Answer: The force needed is 15N

Explanation:

using the equation F=ma

Where F is the force in Newton

m is the mass in kg

a is the acceleration in m/s^2

F=5*3=15N
