A Simple Physics Problem: Calculating Mass with Force and Acceleration
Calculating Mass with Force and Acceleration
To solve this problem, we can use the equation F=ma, where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration. In this case, the force applied is 523 N and the acceleration is 12 m/s2.
Substitute these values into the equation: 523N = m(12m/s2).
Now, solve for the mass (m):
m = 523N / 12m/s2
m = 43.58 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is 43.58 kg.
What is the mass of the object when a 523 N force is applied, causing it to accelerate at 12 m/s2?
43.58kg Explanation: The equation F=ma will help here. F=ma 523N=m(12m/s^2) 43.58kg=m
