' a mass of 450 grams is given an acceleration of 8cm/s/s. Calculate the net force required.
so confused, the only question i couldn't get was this one.

The net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account both magnitude and direction. It is calculated by adding together all of the individual forces acting on an object.
To calculate the net force, you must first identify all of the individual forces acting on an object. Then, use vector addition to add together all of the forces in the same direction and subtract any forces in the opposite direction. The resulting sum is the net force.
Net force is measured in Newtons (N) in the metric system, and in pounds (lbs) in the imperial system.
Calculating net force is important because it allows us to understand the overall effect of multiple forces acting on an object. This helps us predict the motion of the object and determine if it will accelerate, decelerate, or remain at a constant velocity.
Yes, net force can be negative. This means that the overall force acting on an object is in the opposite direction of its motion. Negative net force results in deceleration or a change in direction for the object.
