Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf m = 50\ kg}$

Explanation:

<h3>Given data:</h3>

Acceleration = a = 3 m/s²

Force = F = 150 N

<h3>Required:</h3>

Mass = m = ?

<h3>Formula:</h3>

F = ma

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Put the givens in the formula

150 = m (3)

Divide 3 to both sides

150/3 = m

50 kg = m

m = 50 kg

Law Incorporation [45]

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is $r=6940 km=6.94 \cdot 10^6 m$ , the gravitational force is $F=9.21 \cdot 10^4 N$ and the mass of the Earth is $m_1=5.98 \cdot 10^{24} kg$ , therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
$m_2 = \frac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}= \frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94\cdot 10^6)^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})} =11121 kg$
