Answer:

18 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 we have


a = (10.8)/(0.6) \\

We have the final answer as

18 m/s²

Hope this helps you
