Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F [N] =m [kg] *a [m/s2], where F = net force acting on an object; m = mass of the object; and a = acceleration of the object.
Rearrange the equation: a = F / m = 21 [N] / 82 [kg] = 0.2561 [m/s2].
Note that scalar quantities for F and a are assumed. This statement is true when the motion is linear (a straight line). The situation will be more complicate if vector quantities are considered.

A 1500 N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed. What will be the acceleration of the crate?
0 since the speed is constant
What is the acceleration of a kg mass pushed by a N force?
Acceleration is 0.25m/s2 (A = force/mass).
What is the acceleration of an 18 kg mass pushed by a 9 n force?
Acceleration = 0.5m/s2
A 10-kg object is pushed by an unbalanced force of 9kg-m s squared What is the resulting acceleration?
According to Newton's law of forces, F=ma. On substitution, 9= 10*a. Hence a=9/10=0.9 m/s squared.
How do you find the acceleration of a pushed object?
Resultant force divided by mass

Are there unbalanced forces acting on the car even when its not being pushed?
If a car (or any object, for that matter) accelerates, that is, if it velocity changes, then there are unbalanced forces. If the object doesn't accelerate - for example, if it remains on the spot - then the forces are balanced.
If I pushed on the gas pedal for 4 seconds and changed the velocity by 9 m per s how do I calculate the acceleration.?
Acceleration = change in velocity/time, so we havea = 9/4 m/s/s = 2.25 m/s/s
What made the car move when you pushed it?
Technically, the electromagnetic force.
Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?
Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.
What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car that is being pushed by a 56N force?
5.6 cm/sec2
Which object would have the greatest acceleration if you pushed on it with a force of 8.2 N?
The one with the smallest mass.
