Question

What acceleration will result when a 12 N net force applied to a 3kg object? A 6kg object?

i need someone to solve it using an equation and please show your work.
i really appreciate any help i can get.

Answer 1

As per Newton's II law we know that

`F_(net) = ma`

here for the first case we know that

`F_(net) = 12 N`

m = 3 kg

now we will have

`12 = 3* a`

`a = 4 m/s^2`

now for other case we will have

m = 6 kg

now we have

`12 = 6 * a`

`a = 2 m/s^2`
