Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a):

* F = m * a

Applying the Information

* Mass (m) = 50 kg

* Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Calculation

F = 50 kg * 2 m/s²

F = 100 Newtons (N)

Answer: You would need a force of 100 Newtons to accelerate a 50 kg mass at 2 m/s².
