Question

Suppose that a constant force is applied to an object with a mass of 12kg, it’s creates an acceleration of 5m/s^2. The acceleration of another object produced by the same force is 4m/s^2, what is the mass of this object?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of second object will be 15 kg

Explanation:

We have given mass of first object = 12 kg

Acceleration $a=5m/sec^2$

According to second law of motion we know that force F = MA

So force $F=12\times 5=60N$

As the same force is applied to the second object of acceleration $a=4m/Sec^2$

So force = ma

$60=m\times 4$

m = 15 kg

So mass of second object will be 15 kg
