Question

8. An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object? ___________________________

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of object is 0.5kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 6N

Acceleration = 12m/s²

Mass =?

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making mass (m) the subject, we have;

$Mass (m) = \frac{F}{a}$

Substituting into the equation;

$Mass (m) = \frac{6}{12}$

Mass, m = 0.5kg.

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.5kg
