Given data

*The given mass of the dummy is m = 75 kg

*The given net force on the dummy is F_n = 825 N

The formula for the dummy's acceleration is given as


a=(F_n)/(m)

Substitute the known values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} a=(825)/(75) \\ =11m/s^2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the dummy's acceleration is a = 11 m/s^2
