Concept:
- Force
- A force is an effect that can alter an object's motion according to physics.
- An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force.
- Acceleration
- Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time changes.
- Net forces
Given:
- The horizontal force acting towards the right F1 = 20 N
- The horizontal force acting towards the left F2 = 4 N
- Acceleration of the box = 1.6 m/s^2
Find:
- The mass of the box
Solution:
The net force acting on the box will be towards the right as the F1 is greater than F2
Net force = F1- F2
Net force = 20 - 4
Net force = 16 N
We know that force is the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma
m = F/a
m = 16/ 1.6
m = 10 kg
The mass of the box is 10 kg.
