Question

A cart accelerates at 2 m/s2 when a force of 60 N is applied. What is the mass of the cart? (Formula: F=ma)

Answer 1

Answer:

30kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Acceleration of the cart = 2m/s2 (a)
• Force applied to the cart = 60N (F)

To find:

• Mass of the cart (m)

Solution:

• We know that,
• F = ma
• So, 60N = m × 2m/s2
• or 60N/2m/s2 = m
• or 30kg = m

Conclusion:

Hence;, mass of the cart is 30kg.

Answer 2

Given

• Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
• Force (F) = 60 N

To find

• Mass (m)

Solution

• F = ma
• F is force , m is mass , a is acceleration
• 60 = m (2)
• m = 60/2
• m = 30

⇾ Mass of the car = 30 Kg
