Question

What is the mass if there is 16 net force and 8 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass is 3.2 kilograms

Explanation:

Don't mean to be discouraging, but this is about as easy as physics gets.

Use Newton's Second Law of physics.

F=ma

where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

Remember that 1 Newton = 1 N = 1 kgms2. If we express the force in Newtons, and the acceleration in ms2, then our mass will be in kilograms.

Solving Newton's Second Law for m gives

m=Fa

My belief is that the problem statement SHOULD have been that the acceleration = 5ms2, so

m=16kg⋅ms25ms2=3.2kg.
