What acceleration will result when a 12 N force is applied to a 6 kg object?

If you know please include the equation, it would really help me out, thanks so much!

Hi there!


\large\boxed{2 m/s^(2)}

Use the equation F = m · a where:

F = Force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

Plug in the given values:

12 = 6a

Divide both sides by 6:

12/6 = a

a = 2 m/s²
