Question

A cart accelerates at 2m/s2 when a force of 60 N is applied. What is the mass of the cart? Formula: F=ma

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass, m = 30 kg

Explanation:

We have,

Acceleration of a cart, $a=2\ m/s^2$

Force applied, is 60 N

It is required to find the mass of the cart.

The formula of the force acting on the cart is :

$F=ma$

m is mass of the cart

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{60\ N}{2\ m/s^2}\\\\m=30\ kg$

So, the mass of the cart is 30 kg.
