Question

A net force of 16 N causes a mass to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s2 . Determine the mass

Answer 1

AnswEr :

• The mass is 3.2 kg.

GivEn :

• Force (f) = 16 N
• Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Formula usEd :

Use Newton's second law, to solve the above question.

Newton's second law is given as,

$\dag \: { \large{ \boxed{ \sf{ \red{F = ma}}}}}$

where,

• F is the force in N

• m is the mass in kg

• a is the acceleration in m/s

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SoluTion :

According to the Newton's second law,

➟ F = m × a

➟ 16 = m × 5

➟ m = 16/5

➟ m = 3.2 kg

Therefore, mass is 3.2 kg .

Answer 2

Answer:

The mass is 3.2 kilograms.

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law, which states that,

F = ma

F = is the force in newtons

m = is the mass in kilograms

a = is the acceleration in meters per second...

And so, we get,

16N = m× 5m/s²

m =16N / 5m/s²

= 3.2kg.....

hope it will help u ✌️✌️.....
