Understanding the Concepts

* Force (F): A push or pull that can change an object's motion. Measured in Newtons (N).

* Mass (m): The amount of matter in an object. Measured in kilograms (kg).

* Acceleration (a): The rate of change of velocity. Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration:

* F = m * a

Solving the Problem

1. Identify the knowns:

* Force (F) = 1 N

* Mass (m) = 1 kg

2. Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration (a):

* a = F / m

3. Substitute the known values:

* a = 1 N / 1 kg

4. Calculate the acceleration:

* a = 1 m/s²

Answer: A 1 N force can give a 1 kg object an acceleration of 1 m/s².
