Question

An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it.

What is the mass of the object?

Answer 1

According to equation:

F = ma

m = F/a

m = 6/12

=> m = 0.5kg

hope it works ☺️❤️

Answer 2

Given:

Force applied on object = 6 Newton

Acceleration gained by object = 12 m/s²

To find:

Mass of an object = ?

Step wise explanation:

According to Newton's second law, body comes into motion based on the amount of force applied on it.

If mass of an object is constant, force and acceleration are directly proportional in the given equation:

Force = mass (Kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

By rearranging the equation mass can be calculated as follows:

Mass = Force ÷ acceleration

Mass = 6 N ÷ 12 m/s²

Mass = 0.5 Kg

Hence, the mass of an object is 0.5 Kg.
