Question

To accelerate an object to a rate of 2m/s2 10N force is needed find the mass of object?

Answer 1

Solution :

⏭ Given:

✏ Force exerts on object = 10N

✏ Acceleration produced in object = 2m$\sf{s^{-2}}$

⏭ To Find:

✏ Mass of object

⏭ Formula:

✏ As per newton's second law of motion, relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by

$\bigstar \: \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{ \pink{ \large{F = m \times a}}}}}} \: \bigstar$

⏭ Terms indication:

• F denotes applied force
• m denotes mass
• a denotes acceleration

⏭ Calculation:

$\implies \sf \: 10 = m \times 2 \\ \\ \implies \sf \: m = \dfrac{10}{2} \\ \\ \implies \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{ \orange{ \large{m = 5 \: kg}}}}}} \: \purple{ \bigstar}$

⏭ Additional information:

• Force is vector quantity.
• Mass is scalar quantity.
• Acceleration is also vector quantity.
• Vector quantity has both magnitude as well as direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 kg

Explanation:

a=2 m/s^2

force=10 Newton

force=mass×acceleration

substituting,

10=m×2

m=10/2

m=5 kg

the mass of the object is 5 kg
