#~~2.33 \ "m/s"^2#

We use Newton's second law of motion, which states that,

#F=ma#

where:

#F# is the force applied in newtons

#m# is the mass of the object in kilograms

#a# is the acceleration of the object in meters per second squared

So, we get:

#a=F/m#

#=(35 \ "N")/(15 \ "kg")#

#~~2.33 \ "m/s"^2#
