The answer to your question is: B. F = 45 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted and inversely proportional its mass.

Data

F = ?

a = 3 m/s²

m = 15 kg

Formula

F = ma

Process

F = (15) (3)

F = 45 N
