Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is "140.8 N".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass,

m = 88 kg

Acceleration,

a = 1.60 m/s²

Now,

The net external force for him will be:

⇒ [tex]F_{ext}=Mass\times Acceleration[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

           [tex]=88\times 1.60[/tex]

           [tex]=140.8 \ N[/tex]
