Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 6
**
- Step 1: Apply Newton's second law: .
- Step 2: Insert and : .
- Step 3: Multiplying yields the required net force of .
Answer
6.
Why not the others: '60' introduces an extra factor of , confusing acceleration with ; '3/2' divides mass by acceleration () instead of multiplying; '5' adds mass and acceleration () instead of multiplying them.
