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

The relationship between the force (F), the mass (m), and the acceleration is given by the following equation,
F = m x a
The acceleration therefore is calculated through, a = F / m. Substituting the given values,
a = 12 N / 2 kg
The acceleration is 6 m/s². Therefore, the answer is letter C.
