Answer:

a=12 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of force.

This can be summarized as: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object on which force F acts. a is the acceleration due to the force applied.

12N= 1kg×a

a=12N/1kg

a=12m/s²
