Question

A 500 N force is applied to a 25 m/s2 object. The mass of the object is

Answer 1

25 kg

Explanation:

The magnitude of applied force = 500 N

Acceleration of the object = 25 m/s²

Find the mass of the object.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we have to use the mathematical relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Which is -

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Or,

Mass = Force / Acceleration

By putting the given values, we get :

Mass = 500/25

Mass = 20 kg

(This will be considered as the final result. We have used the SI unit of the mass because the rest of the given physical quantities are also in SI units.)

Hence, the mass of the object is 20 kg.
