Answer:

The answer is option A

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 we have


a = (25)/(40.5) \\ = 0.617283950...

We have the final answer as

0.617 m/s²

Hope this helps you
