I am going to need a picture for this question
Answer:
.
Explanation:
By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration
of an object is proportional to the net force
on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is
, then
.
Rewrite this equation to obtain:
.
In this case, the assumption is that the
force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force
on the object would also be
Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as
, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (
). Apply the equation
to find the mass of the object.

The process of <u>scientific method</u> involves making hypotheses , driving predictions from them as logical consequences , and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypotheses is a conjecture , based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the questions.
