Question

A net force of 25.0 N causes an object to accelerate at 4.00 m/s2. What is the mass of the object?

0.16 kg
6.25 kg
55 kg
100 kg

Answer 1

6.25kg

Step-by-step explanation:

m=F/a = 25/4 = 6.25kg

Answer 2

Mass, m = 6.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Net force acting on the object, F = 25 N

Acceleration of the object,
`a=4\ m/s^2`

Let m is the mass of the object. Using Newton's second law of motion. The force is given by :

F = ma

`m=(F)/(a)`

`m=(25\ N)/(4\ m/s^2)`

m = 6.25 kg

So, the mass of the object is 6.25 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
