Question

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?

Answer 1

Force = ma

Force = 12 N

Acceleration = 0.20

CALCULATIONS

12 = m × 0.20

m = 12 / 0.2 = 60

The answer is :

60 Kg

Answer 2

Answer: The mass of the crate is 60 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F = 12 N

Acceleration $a = 0.20 m/s^{2}$

We know that,

The force is the product of the mass of the object and acceleration of the object.

$F = ma$

$m = \dfrac{F}{a}$

$m = \dfrac{12}{0.20}$

$m = 60 kg$

Hence, the mass of the crate is 60 kg.
