  • Calculating Acceleration: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration:

    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.
