I asked this question before:

if the force of 60 N is exerted on a 15 kg object, calculate the acceleration that the object undergoes. I was told to use Newton's law of a=F/m.
I got an answer of 4 m/s(squared). Is this answer correct?

Yes.

Thank you

Yes, your answer is correct. To solve for acceleration using Newton's second law of motion, you need to divide the force applied to the object by its mass.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1. Given:
Force (F) = 60 N
Mass (m) = 15 kg

2. Apply Newton's second law of motion:
a = F/m

3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
a = 60 N / 15 kg

4. Divide the force by mass:
a = 4 N/kg

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² (meters per second squared).
