F = ma
where:
* F is the net force acting on the object (in Newtons, N)
* m is the mass of the object (in kilograms, kg)
* a is the acceleration of the object (in meters per second squared, m/s²)
Solving for acceleration:
a = F / m
Therefore, the acceleration of the 2 kg box acted on by a net force N is:
a = N / 2 kg
This means the acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force applied. The larger the net force, the greater the acceleration.
