What is acceleration produced by a force of 12 newton exerted on an object of mass `3kg` ?

Options

A. `1 m//s^2`
B. `4 m//s^2`
C. `2 m//s^2`
D. `5 m//s^2`

Answer

B

Explanation

Here, Force, F= 12 N
Mass, m=3 kg
And, Acceleration, a= ? (To be calculated)
We know that: `F=mxxa`
So, `12=3xxa`
3a=12
`a=12/3 m/s^(2)`
or Acceleration, a = 4 m/`s^(2)`
