Question

An object accelerates 3.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object

Answer 1

Answer:

f=ma

f=6.0

a=3.0

m=6/3=2kg

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

Acceleration of an object = 3.0 m/s²

The force of and object = 6.0N

To Find:

The mass of the object

Solution:

We assume that the object was at rest.

The formula to calculate the force is, F = m × a, where m is mass and a is acceleration both in the same units. Here the units are in MKS units.

So, mass is $\frac{F}{a}$

Now, putting the values in the formula,

⇒ $\frac{6.0}{3.0}$

Now dividing 3.0 by 6.0 we get,

⇒ 2.0 kg

Therefore the mass of the object is 2 kg.
