Answer:

12 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula


a = (f)/(m) \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 6000 N

m = 500 kg

We have


a = (6000)/(500) = (60)/(5) = 12 \\

We have the final answer as

12 m/s²

Hope this helps you
