F=m•a
Then:
a=F/m
a=60/15=4 m/s²

Answer: The correct option is

(A) 4 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that a force of 60 N is exerted on a 15 kg object.

We are to calculate the acceleration that the object undergoes.

From Newton's second law of motion, we have


F=ma, where m is the mass of the object, a is the acceleration and F is the force exerted.

For the given object, we have

F = 60 N and m = 15 kg.

So, we get


F=ma\\\\\Rightarrow 60=15* a\\\\\Rightarrow a=(60)/(15)\\\\\Rightarrow a=4.

Thus, the required acceleration that the object undergoes is 4 m/sec.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
