What would be the force required to produce an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared on a body of mass 12kg?

Force is given by Newton's second law:
F = ma
where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
In this example, the mass is 12kg and the acceleration is 2 m/s2, so the resulting force is
F = ma
F = (12kg)*(2m/s2)
F = 24 (kg*m)/s2 = 24 N

What is the mean of 2g?
g is a measurement of acceleration namely 9.8 meters per second squared. When there is an acceleration of 2g then simply multiply 9.8 meters per second squared times 2 or 19.6 meters per second squared.
In what units is acceleration expressed a newtons b foot pounds c kilograms d meters per second squared?
Assuming you want the international units: time: second velocity: meters / second distance: meters acceleration: meters / second2
What is 9.8m divided by s squared?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of gravity.
Why do we a use the units meters per second squared when we talk about acceleration?
For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.
What is the SI unit of negative acceleration?
The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared. This applies to ANY acceleration.
Ten meters per second squared describes what?
The acceleration of gravity.
What does the slope of an acceleration-position graph indicate?
Meters/seconds squared
What is the acceleration of gravity on earth equation?
9.8 meters/second squared
What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of an object free falling for 3 meters in the first second on a planet with no atmosphere?
The magnitude of acceleration depends on the gravitational pull from the planet. The amount of gravitational pull depends on the size and mass of the planet. On Earth gravity will produce an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared if there was no atmosphere.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth in meters per sec?
[ 9.807 meters per second squared ] is.
