Newton's Second Law:
* F = m * a
* F = Force (in Newtons, N)
* m = Mass (in kilograms, kg)
* a = Acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s²)
Given:
* m = 150.0 kg
* a = 1.5 m/s²
Solution:
1. Plug the values into the equation:
F = (150.0 kg) * (1.5 m/s²)
2. Calculate the force:
F = 225 N
Answer: You must apply 225 Newtons of force to the object to give it an acceleration of 1.5 meters per second squared.
