Answer:

2.6 meters per seconds squared

Explanation:

We can use the formula F = MA to solve this problem.

F is the force (in Newtons)

M is the mass (in Kgs)

A is the acceleration in m/s^2

The force (F) is given as 2.4 newtons and mass (M) is given as 0.94 kgs, so we substitute into the formula and solve for acceleration (A):

F = MA

2.4 = 0.94(A)

A= 2.4/0.94 = 2.55 m/s^2

rounding to nearest tenth, we have acceleration = 2.6 m/s^2
