Question

An 12 N force is applied to a 1 kg object. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration?

A. 0.083 m/s²
B. 11 m/s²
C. 12 m/s²
D. 13 m/s²​

Answer 1

The magnitude of the acceleration is 12 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the image attached, we can see a free body diagram. The total force acting over the body is 12 N, and the mass of the object is 1 kg, therefore by Newton's second law, we have one equation with one unknown value (the acceleration).
