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:

mass = 25 kg

Explanation:

Force is said to be the push or pull upon an objects with mass resulting to the change in velocity of that object. Force is a vector quantity. Force has both magnitude and direction. The direction where the force is applied is the direction of the force. Force can be measured using spring balance and the S.I unit of force is Newton.

Force is said to be the product of the mass of a body and the acceleration.It can be represented mathematically as

F = ma

Force = mass × acceleration

F= 200 Newton

a = 8 m/s²

F = ma

since we are ask to find mass , we make mass the subject of the formula

m = F/a

m = 200/8

m = 25 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

m = 25 kg

Explanation:

F = ma

$\text{m} = \frac{F }{a }$

$\text{m} = \frac{\text{200 N}}{\text{8m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}} = \text{25 kg}$
