Answer:

a = 13 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object = 200 Kg

Applied force = 2600 N

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Definition:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m (N = kgm/s²)

a = 2600 kgm/s² / 200 Kg

a = 13 m/s²
