Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 36 \ Newtons}}[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

[tex]F=m \times a[/tex]

The mass of the wagon is 12 kilograms and the acceleration is 3 meters per square second.

  • m= 12 kg
  • a= 3 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]F= 12 \ kg \times 3 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Multiply.

[tex]F= 36 \ kg*m/s^2[/tex]

  • 1 kilogram meter per square second ( 1 kg*m/s²) is equal to 1 Newton (N)
  • Our answer of 36 kg*m/s² is equal to 36 N

[tex]F= 36 \ N[/tex]

The force required for the 12 kilogram wagon to accelerate at 3 meters per square second is 36 Newtons.
