Question

a net force of 16N produce an acceleration of 2m/s-2 in a body moving over a horizontal surface. what is the mass of the body​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass = force/acceleration

Force= 16N

Acceleration= 2m

16÷2

Mass= 8kg

Answer 2

Given:-

• Net Force (F) = 16N

• Acceleration (a) = 2m/s²

To Find:-

• Mass of the body (m)

Solution:-

As we know that , Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

⟹ Force = mass× Acceleration

⟹ F =m×a

Put the value we get,

⟹ 16 = m×2

⟹ m = 16/2

⟹ m = 8Kg

∴ The mass of the body is 8kg.

Additional Information!!

✧ Product of mass and acceleration is called force.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀OR

A push or pull of an object is called force.

✧ SI unit of Force is Newton.

✧ It is denoted by N.

✧ Force is vector Quantity i.e., both Magnitude and direction.

✧ Mathematical term

⟹ Force = Mass×Acceleration
