<u>Answer:</u> The force that must be applied is 15 N.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Force exerted on the object is defined as the product of mass of the object and the acceleration of the object.
Mathematically,

where,
F = force exerted = ?
m = mass of the object = 3 kg
a = acceleration of the object = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the force that must be applied is 15 N.
Answer:
The element that has been oxidized is the N
Explanation:
Zn²⁺(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq) → Zn(s) + NO₃⁻(aq)
See all the oxidation states:
Zn²⁺ → acts with +2
In ammonia, H acts with +1 and N with -3
Zn(s), acts with 0. In all the elements in ground state, the oxidation state is 0.
Zn changed from 2+ to 0. The oxidation number, has decreased.
This element has been reduced.
NO₃⁻ (aq) it's a ion, from nitric acid.
N acts with +5
O acts with -2
The global charge is -1
The N, has increased the oxidation state, so this element is the one oxidized.
