Answer:

We know that f=ma

Rearranging

M=f÷a so m=10kg

Answer: The mass of an object is 10 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is defined as the push or pull on an object with some mass that causes change in its velocity.

It is also defined as the mass multiplied by the acceleration of the object.

Mathematically,


F=ma

where,

F = force exerted on the object = 100 N

m = mass of the object = ?

a = acceleration of the object =
10m/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:


100kg.m/s^2=m* 10m/s^2\\\\m=(100)/(10)=10kg

Hence, the mass of an object is 10 kg.
