  • Calculating Acceleration: Force, Mass, and Newton's Second Law
    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, N)

    * m is the mass (in kilograms, kg)

    * a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s²)

    Solving for Acceleration

    1. Rearrange the formula: a = F / m

    2. Plug in the values: a = 6 N / 6 kg

    3. Calculate: a = 1 m/s²

    Therefore, the acceleration of the 6 kg mass acted upon by a 6 N force is 1 m/s².
