Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 m/s²

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula


a = (f)/(m) \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question we have


a = (12)/(8) = (3)/(2) \\

We have the final answer as

1.5 m/s²

Hope this helps you
