A net force acting on a 5.0 kg box produces an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2. What acceleration will the same net force cause on a 2.8 kg box?

Suppose a person with a mass of 82 kg is standing on Earth. Because of gravitational force, the person will have weight; weight is the force acting down against the ground. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the ground pushes back with a reaction force. Calculate the reaction force for this situation using -9.8 m/s² (or acceleration due to gravity).
