Question

A net force of 16 N causes a mass to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s^2. Determine the mass.

Answer 1

Answer:

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Explanation:

We have net force on the object F = 16 N

Acceleration of the object $a=5m/sec^2$

We have top find the mass of the object

From newton law of motion we know that force is given by

F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So $16=5\times m$

$m=3.2kg$

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg
