Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states: *Force equals mass times acceleration* or F = ma

Solving for Acceleration

1. Rearrange the formula: To find acceleration (a), we need to isolate it:

a = F / m

2. Plug in the values:

a = 12 N / 2 kg

3. Calculate:

a = 6 m/s²

Therefore, the object will accelerate at 6 m/s².
