Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula:
a = (F)/(m)

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 45 ÷ 150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
