Hello!

A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2 on the object. What is the mass of the object ?

Data:

F (force) = 5 N

m (mass) = ?

a (acceleration) = 2 m/s²

Solving:


F = m*a


5 = m*2


2\:m = 5


m = (5)/(2)


\boxed{\boxed{m = 2.5\:kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Answer:

2.5 kg
