Based on the 2nd law of motion, the force is a product of the mass and acceleration. We are already given with the mass and the acceleration is calculated by the following equation,
d = Vot + 0.5at²
where d is distance (equal to 1 m), Vo is the initial velocity (equal to 0), a is acceleration, and t is time.
Substituting the known values,
1 m = 0 + 0.5(a)(5 s)²
The value of a is equal to 0.08 m/s².
Now, calculating for force,
F = m x a
F = (50 kg)(0.08 m/s²)
F = 0.32 N
Thus, the force needed to move the load is 0.32N.
