A 12n net force acts on a 4-kg jug of water. What is the resulting acceleration of the jug?

3m/s^2

Explanation:

Net force = 12N

Mass of jug = 4kg

Acceleration of the jug = ?

Recall that force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

12N = 4kg x Acceleration

Acceleration = 12N/4kg

Acceleration = 3m/s^2

Thus, the resulting acceleration of the jug is 3m/s^2

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity
