A girl pushes on a box of Christmas Ornaments with a mass of 12 kg and it moves an acceleration of 2m/s^2. With what force does the girl push on the box?

24 N

f = ma

24 To find the force with which the girl pushes on the box, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its acceleration (a).

Given:
Mass of the box (m) = 12 kg
Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s^2

Using the formula:
F = m * a

Plug in the given values:
F = 12 kg * 2 m/s^2

Multiply:
F = 24 kg * m/s^2

The force exerted by the girl pushing on the box is 24 Newtons (N).
