Answer:
a = 2 [m/s²]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we need to think back to our good old friend Newton and his second law:
F = m·a
The first thing we are given is that when m = 22 [kg], a = 3 [m/s²]. With this, we can calculate F:
F = 22 · 3 = 66 [N]
Now that we have the force acting upon the two objects, we can calculate the second object's acceleration using this force:
F = m·a
⇒ a = F / m (divide both sides by m)
⇒ a = 66 / 33 = 2 [m/s²]
