Question

calculate the mass of a body if a force of 0.8N produce an acceleration of 2 m/s2​

Answer 1

Given :

Force of the body, F = 0.8 N

Acceleration produced by the body, a = 2 m/s²

To Find :

The mass of a body

Solution :

As we are provided with froce and accerlation we can use Newton's 2nd law of motion .i.e.,

" the rate of change of linear Momentum of the body is proportional to the net external force acting on it "

In order words,

➠ F = ma

Here, F denotes Force, m denotes Mass and a denotes acceleration.

by, substituting all the given values,

➠ 0.8 = (m)(2)

➠ m = 0.8/2

➠ m = 0.4 kg${.}$

thus, the mass of a body is 0.4 kg.
