Answer:

5m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 15N

Mass = 3kg

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

The force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration =
(force)/(mass)

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Acceleration =
(15)/(3) = 5m/s²
