The new acceleration would be [tex]12.0 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The relationship between net force on an object, mass and acceleration is given by Newton's second law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
The equation can also be rewritten as
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]
Here we have an object of mass [tex]m[/tex] and initial acceleration
[tex]a=6.0 m/s^2[/tex]
If the mass is halved, then the new mass is
[tex]m'=\frac{m}{2}[/tex]
So the new acceleration would be, assuming the force to be constant,
[tex]a'=\frac{F}{m'}=\frac{F}{m/2}=2(\frac{F}{m})=2a=2(6)=12.0 m/s^2[/tex]
