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 at which an object's velocity changes. Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Newton's Second Law of Motion

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is defined by Newton's Second Law of Motion:

* F = m * a

Solving for Acceleration

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

* a = F / m

2. Plug in the values:

* a = 100 N / 6000 kg

3. Calculate:

* a = 0.0167 m/s²

Answer: The resulting acceleration is 0.0167 m/s².
