Question

What is the mass of a crate if a force of 200 N causes it to accelerate at 8 m/s2? (Formula: F=ma)

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Explanation:

Got it right on edg

Answer 2

25 kg

Explanation:

we can calculate the mass of the crate by using the Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

F is the force acting on the crate

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, $F=200 N$ and $a=8 m/s^2$, so we can re-arrange the equation above to calculate the mass of the crate:

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{200 N}{8 m/s^2}=25 kg$
