Solution

To calculate the force required to produce the given acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).

Given: Mass (m) = 100 kg Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s^2

Using the formula F = m * a, we can substitute the given values:

F = 100 kg * 5 m/s^2

Calculating the product:

F = 500 kg·m/s^2

Therefore, the force required to produce this acceleration is 500 N (Newtons).
