Question

What is the mass of an object if force of -136 n can make it accelerate at -9.6 m/s^2

Answer 1

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

• Therefore the mass of an object is 14.16 grams.

Explanation:

Force:

The push or pull on an object with mass that cause change in the velocity

It is a vector quantity.

The formula to calculate the force is:

F = m × a

Given:

Force (F) = -136 N

acceleration (a) = -9.6 m/s^2

To calculate:

mass of the object (m)

We know that,

F = m × a

where,

F represents the force of the object

m represents mass of an object

a is acceleration of an object

From the equation;

-136 = m × -9.6

m = $\frac{-136}{-9.6}$

m = 14.16 grams

Therefore the mass of an object is 14.16 grams.
