Answer:

6 Kg.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 30 N

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

Force (F) is defined as the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a). Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = ma

With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of the object as follow:

Force (F) = 30 N

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

F = ma

30 = m × 5

Divide both side by 5

m = 30 / 5

m = 6 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 6 Kg

6. Can an object accelerate, but not speed up or slow down? Explain:

Answer:

yes, though the speed may stay constant, the direction will change. so for example, you're going 70mph on the freeway, but you have to take the exit on your right (the exit continues on to a different freeway), you're not going to speed up or slow down, you'll change your direction which is still accelerating.

Answer:

130N

Explanation:

F=(M1+M2)V

F= (70+60)*1
