Quick comprehension check

A toy car with a mass of 0.5 kg accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s². Calculate the net force acting on the car. A net force of 15 N is applied to a box, causing it to accelerate at a rate of 3 m/s². What is the mass of the box? A bicycle with a mass of 20 kg experiences a net force of 10 N. Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle.
