Answer: 3m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Acceleration of object = ?

Force = 9 N

Mass of object = 3 kg

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves i.e Force = mass x acceleration

9N = 3kg x acceleration

Acceleration = 9N/3kg

Acceleration = 3m/s^2 (3 metres per second square)

Thus, an acceleration of 3m/s^2 is produced.
