Force F = m*a = 4.5*2 = 9.0 N .....but the question is a bit unclear

This isn't the same as throwing a brick though a window because the brick is ONLY accelerating when force is applied to it. Once a thrown brick is released, it is only accelerating DOWN at 9.8m/s². Its horizontal velocity is constant. F = m*a = 4.5*2 = 9N
