Question

A tractor pushes a log with a force of 6,000 N, if it is able to move it with an acceleration of 10m / s², how much mass does the body have?

Answer 1

600kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 6000N

Acceleration = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Mass of the body = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply newton's second law of motion:

F = m x a

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So;

6000 = m x 10

m = 600kg
