To find the force,

 ⇒ must know the force's formula ⇒ F = MA

  • M: mass of the object
  • A: acceleration of the object

Let's consider the information given:

  • cup has a mass of 0.025kg --> 'M'
  • accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s^2 --> 'A'

Let's solve:

  [tex]F=MA=0.025kg*5m/s^2=0.125N[/tex]

Thus the force is 0.125N

Answer: 0.125N

Hope that helps!
