Question

what is the mass of an object if a force of 17 N causes it to accelerate at 1.5 m/s(2)?

Answer 1

F = ma

17= m× 1.5

m = 17/1.5

m= 11.4g.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 11.4g.

Explanation:

• Although force, mass, and acceleration are common terms, they are frequently employed incorrectly. When a physical influence called force is imparted to an item, the object accelerates in the direction the force was applied from.
• An object's mass, which is measured in kilograms, is the amount of matter it contains. The rate at which an object's velocity along the same straight line as the unbalanced force changes is known as its acceleration. There is no net force and hence no movement when the forces are in balance. These three concepts are related by Newton's second law, which also addresses how an imbalanced force affects an object's motion.
• According to this, an object's rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force used and moves in the direction of the applied force. The following formula encapsulates it: force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m$s^{-2}$).

Force = mass × accleration

17= mass × 1.5

Mass = 17/1.5

Mass = 11.4g
