Question

Calculate the mass of a bus of it produces a force of 14000Nwhile accelerating at a rate of 5ms-²

Answer 1

AnsWer :-

⏯ We're given a bus which is producing a Force (f) of 14000 N.

⏯ The bus is Accelerating (a) at a rate of 5 m/s².

⏯ We need to find the mass (m) of the bus.

⏯ By applying Newton's second law of motion we can calculate the mass (m) of the Bus.

↛ Force (f) = mass(m) × Acceleration (a)

✪ Rearranging the above formula we have :

↛mass (m) = Force (f) ÷ Acceleration (a)

✪ Now, simply plug in the known values in above formula :

↛mass (m) = 14000 ÷ 5

✪ Dividing Force by given Acceleration we have :

↛mass (m) = 2,800 kg

∴ The mass (m) of the Bus is 2,800 kg.

Answer 2

Question :

• Calculate the mass of a bus of it produces a force of 14000Nwhile accelerating at a rate of 5ms-²

Given :

• F = 14000N
• A = 5ms-²

Let's start :

So as we know :

➜ F = ma

➜ 14000 = m × 5

➜ m = 14000/5

➜ m = 2800 kg

So the final answer is 2800 kg.

Other information :

• The newton is the Standard International (SI) unit of force.

• In physics and engineering documentation, the term newton(s) is usually abbreviated N.

• One newton is the force required to cause a mass of one kilogram to accelerate at a rate of one meter per second squared in the absence of other force-producing effects.
