Question

Una ardilla corre desarrollando una aceleracion de 3.5 m/s2 la fuerza ejecidas por las patas traseras es de 5 N. Cual sera la masa de la ardilla?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.43 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the squirrel in the problem, we have:

$a=3.5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

F = 5 N is the net force acting on it

Solving for m, we find its mass:

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{5}{3.5}=1.43 kg$
