Answer:
The acceleration is: [tex]a=3 \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
To answer this, we need to recall Newton's Second Law of motion, that states that an object of mass m would accelerate (change its state of uniform motion) proportional to the force (F) that is applied , and exemplified by the following equation:
[tex]F=m\,a[/tex]
From here, and using the given values for mass (m = 3 kg) and force (F = 9 N), we can derive the value of the acceleration as shown below (notice that since all quantities are given in SI units, the resulting acceleration will also be in Si units ([tex]\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]):
[tex]F=m\,a\\9\,N=3\,kg\,a\\a=\frac{9}{3} \frac{m}{s^2} \\a=3 \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
