Yes, because imagine a car, as it races it has a positive acceleration. So imagine the car going faster, and at the point it is at and imagine it slowing down. Compared to its previous speed is it a positive or negative acceleration (after it slowed down)?
Negative.
this is because its speed is decreasing. When anything is decreasing it is negative.
In other words its speed is decreaseing meaning its having a negative acceleration

What is the mass of an object which has a force of 600 N acting on it and is travelling

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 40 Kg</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object is:

F = m.a

Where:

a = acceleration of the object.

m = mass of the object.

The mass can be calculated by solving for m:

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

The object has a net force of F=600 N acting on it and travels at $a=15\ m/s^2$ , thus the mas is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{600}{15}$

m = 40 Kg

The mass of the object is 40 Kg
