Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states: *Force equals mass times acceleration*

This can be written as an equation: F = ma

Solving for Acceleration

1. Identify the knowns:

* Force (F) = 12 N

* Mass (m) = 2 kg

2. Rearrange the equation to solve for acceleration (a):

* a = F / m

3. Substitute the values and calculate:

* a = 12 N / 2 kg

* a = 6 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the object will be 6 m/s².
