Question

What is the acceleration produced by a force of 12 Newton exerted on an object of mass 3 kg

Answer 1

F=ma
where, F = force
m = mass of the body
a = acceleration
f= 12 N
m= 3 kg
a=?
F = ma
a= F/m
a= 12/ 3
a = 4m/s ²

Answer 2

Given:

Force = 12 N

Mass = 3 kg

To find:

The acceleration produced.

Solution:

We know that the formula to find out force is as follows:

Force = Mass× acceleration

Thus, the formula to find out acceleration will be:

Acceleration = Force / Mass

On substituting the given values in the equation, we get:

Acceleration = 12/3 = 4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration produced by the applied force on the object will be 4 m/s².
