  • Calculate Acceleration: Force, Mass & Newton's Second Law - Physics Explained
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states: *Force equals mass times acceleration*

    * F = m * a

    Where:

    * F is the force (in Newtons)

    * m is the mass (in kilograms)

    * a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared)

    Solving for Acceleration

    1. Rearrange the equation: a = F / m

    2. Plug in the values: a = 4 N / 2 kg

    3. Calculate: a = 2 m/s²

    Answer: The acceleration of the object is 2 m/s².
