how would you find the rate of acceleration when given the force, mass, and the coefficient of friction?? what would the formula(s) be??
i am so confused! HELP!

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It describes how quickly the velocity of an object is changing, either increasing or decreasing.
Acceleration is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2) in the metric system. In the imperial system, it is measured in feet per second squared (ft/s^2).
The coefficient of friction is a value that represents the amount of friction between two surfaces in contact. It is a dimensionless quantity and is typically represented by the symbol "μ".
The coefficient of friction is determined by conducting experiments in which one surface is dragged across another surface with a known force. The ratio of the force required to move the object to the weight of the object gives the coefficient of friction.
The coefficient of friction is a key factor in determining the acceleration of an object. Higher coefficients of friction mean that more force is required to move the object, resulting in a slower acceleration. Lower coefficients of friction allow for easier movement and faster acceleration.
