Sage Dean · Answer 1

F = 500N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law when a force is acted on an object it causes an acceleration on th object and this acceleration depends on the mass of the object.

The law states that

F=m. a

F = (100kg). (5m/s^2)

F = 500N = 5x10^2N

Marilyn · Answer 2

500 newton force is needed to move a car of mass 100kg to an acceleration of 5m/s/s.

Explanation:

As we know from Newton's second law of motion that force = F = m*a

=> F = 100 * 5 = 500 N
