ANSWER

C. . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

, where

is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

.

We rearrange to get,

.

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

.

The correct answer is C
