ANSWER:

376.47 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Force (F) = 3.2 N

Mass (m) = 8.5 gram = 0.0085 kg

We can determine the acceleration by the following formula:


\begin{gathered} F=m\cdot a \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ 3.2=0.0085\cdot \:a\: \\ \\ a=(3.2)/(0.0085) \\ \\ a=376.47\text{ m/s^^b2} \end{gathered}

The acceleration is 376.47 m/s²
