The force applied by Herman is 400 N
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the net force exerted on an object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem we know that:
m = 80 kg is the mass of Herbert
[tex]a=5 m/s^2[/tex] is his acceleration
Therefore, the force applied by Herman on Herbert is:
[tex]F=ma=(80)(5)=400 N[/tex]
