Answer:
a = 12 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
ΣF = m*a
where:
ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)
m = mass = 0.5 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left
2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a
6 = 0.5*a
a = 12 [m/s²]
