Question

A tractor pushes a log with a force of 6,000 N, if it is able to move it with an acceleration of 10m / s², how much mass does the body have?

Answer 1

Answer:

600kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 6000N

Acceleration  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Mass of the body = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply newton's second law of motion:

    F = m x a

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

 So;

          6000  = m x 10

         m  = 600kg
