Newton’s 2nd law of motion states that Force = Mass • Acceleration. With that in mind, we can switch the process around to use the formula:
Acceleration = Force / Mass
Given the formula, we can set up an equation with “a” being a variable that represents acceleration:
a = 16 / 50
16 / 50 = 16/50
16/50 can be reduced to 8/25.
8/25 converts to 32/100 because we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.
The acceleration of the object is 0.32 kg.
