I think there's a formula for this just not sure.

mathstudent55 · Answer

F = ma

mathstudent55 · Answer

F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration

anonymous · Answer

okay so it would look like 

12= 12 something? I  dont know what that is yet.

mathstudent55 · Answer

F = ma, you have the force and the mass and are looking for the acceleration, so solve F = ma for a. Then plug in the values you have and get a value for a.

anonymous · Answer

Well I kindof understand that but not all the way. I don't understand how to plug in the numbers to the formula. I'm not good at formulas.

mathstudent55 · Answer

a = F/m

mathstudent55 · Answer

a = F/m = 12 N/2 kg = 6 (kg-m/s^2)/kg = 6 m/s^2
