Answer:
Explanation:
This is a direct application of Newton's 2nd Law:
F = ma, where F is the force applied to an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object when this force is applied. Note: this is NOT the same as the acceleration due to gravity which is constant at -9.8 m/s/s or -32 ft/s/s. Filling in:
6.0 = m(12.0) so
m = .5 kg
