Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)
To solve for acceleration, rearrange the formula:
Acceleration (a) = Force (F) / Mass (m)
Here's how to apply it:
1. Identify the force (F): You've stated the force is "N" Newtons.
2. Identify the mass (m): You've stated the mass is "kg" kilograms.
3. Plug the values into the formula: a = N / kg
Example:
If the force is 10 Newtons (N) and the mass is 2 kilograms (kg), then the acceleration would be:
a = 10 N / 2 kg = 5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 5 meters per second squared (m/s²)
