Question

A force of 5N applied on a body produces an acceleration 5Cms-2 . Calculate the mass of the body.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here given force=5N

also acceleration is 5cm s^-2=0.05m s^-2

so as we know that f=ma

so a=f/m=5/0.05

Which is 100 kg

Explanation:

Answer 2

From Newton's second law of motion, the applied force is directly proportional to the acceleration produced or F=ma

The unit of force is newton in SI denoted by the symbol N.

Forces acting on a mass m
