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.
