Explanation:
The classical formula is F = ma, also known as Newton’s second law of motion.
Using basic algebra, this also means a = F/m, where a is the acceleration in m/s², m is the mass in kilograms and F is the force in newtons or kg⋅m/s².
It makes sense that increasing the force will increase acceleration. Increasing the mass will decrease acceleration.
Insert 2 kg and 4 N into the formula. The result is 2 m/s².
