Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for force is:
If we rearrange the formula to solve for a (acceleration), the formula becomes
The force is 68 Newtons. Let's convert the units to make the problem easier later on. 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s², so the force of 68 N is equal to 68 kg*m/s².
The mass is 2 kilograms.
Substitute the values into the formula.
Divide. Note that the kilograms will cancel each other out (hence why we changed the units).
The acceleration is<u> </u><u>34 meters per second squared.</u>
