here's what you know:
F = 200 N
a = 8 m/s^2

now, plug those numbers into the formula (f=ma) to get:
200 = m(8)

to solve for m, divide both sides by 8
Answer: 25

hope i helped :3

Hey there! :D

Plug in what you know.

F=ma

F= force m= mass a= acceleration

200 N= m*8 ms

Divide both sides by 8.

m= 25

The mass is 25.

I hope this helps!
