Understanding the Concepts

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

Calculations

1. Mass (m): 50 kg

2. Acceleration (a): 2 m/s²

3. Force (F): F = 50 kg * 2 m/s² = 100 Newtons (N)

Answer: Rudolph exerts a force of 100 Newtons to pull the sleigh.
