Question

What is the mass of an object that requires a force of 182 N to accelerate at a rate of 13 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=14kg$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration by:

$F=m*a$

We can easily compute the mass by solving for it:

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

Whereas the force is 182 N (kg*m/s²) and the acceleration is 13 m/s², therefore, we obtain:

$m=\frac{182kg\frac{m}{s^2} }{13\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\\m=14kg$

Best regards.
