Newton’s Second Law of motion says that the acceleration of an object is related to the force and mass of the object. This equation is used to describe the relationship: F=ma, where f is the force, a is the acceleration, and m is the mass for the object in motion.

If a ball starting at rest has a mass of 0.25 kilograms and is pushed with a force of 3.5 N, then what is the acceleration for the object from the applied force? SHOW YOUR WORK.
