Here's why:
* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically:
* a = F / m
Where:
* a = acceleration
* F = net force
* m = mass
To find the acceleration, you need to know the net force acting on the object.
Example:
* If a 11 kg object has a net force of 22 Newtons acting on it, its acceleration would be:
* a = 22 N / 11 kg = 2 m/s²
