Answer 1

Question:-

12. An object accelerates 16.3 m/s2 when a force of 4.6 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?

0.28 kg

0.28 g

74.98 kg

74.98 N

Answer:-

Answer 2

Given:

Acceleration of the object = 16.3 m/s²

Force exerted = 4.6 N

To find:

Mass of the object.

Solution:

We know that force is the product of the mass and acceleration of the object. Thus, we can say that:

Force = mass * acceleration

On modifying the equation, we get:

Mass = Force/ acceleration

On substituting the values in the given formula, we get:

Mass = 4.6/ 16.3

On solving, we get the following value:

= 0.28 kg

Thus, the mass of the object is 0.28 kg.
