Question

If a force of 12 N is applied to an object with a mass of 2 kg, the object will accelerate at
A. 0.17 m/s2.
B. 24 m/s2.
C. 6 m/s2.
D. 12 m/s2.

Answer 1

F = m * a
is the basic, simple formula here.
F is force on the object
m is mass of the object
a is acceleration of the object

F / m = a
is the algebraically manipulated formula. From the basic formula up there, divide each side by "m".

Answer 2

so (B)

Answer 3

no c

Answer 4

what eric said is correct

Answer 5

so how that is how you got (C)

Answer 6

F=m*a

F=12N
M=2kg

simple algebra and you come up with Erics eq. F/m=a

12N/2kg=6m/s^2

Answer 7

Thank you for the credit. I agree with C.\[6 m/s ^{2}\] Good luck!
