Question

Need help with finding the kg

Answer 1

Answer:

3 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse relation:

y = k/x

In this case, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass, so using a for acceleration and m for mass, we have:

a = k/m

We need to find the value of k.

We use the given information to find k.

a = 9 m/s^2 when m = 5 kg

a = k/m

9 = k/5

k = 9 * 5 = 45

Now we can complete our equation:

a = 45/m

For a = 15 m/s^2, m = ?

15 = 45/m

15m = 45

m = 45/15

m = 3

Answer: 3 kg
