Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion states:
* Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
Rearranging the Equation to Solve for Acceleration
To find the acceleration, we can rearrange the formula:
* Acceleration (a) = Force (F) / Mass (m)
Plugging in the Values
* Force (F) = 0.36 N
* Mass (m) = 380 grams (Convert to kilograms: 380 grams / 1000 grams/kilogram = 0.38 kg)
Calculation
* Acceleration (a) = 0.36 N / 0.38 kg
* Acceleration (a) ≈ 0.95 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the mass is approximately 0.95 meters per second squared.
