Answer:

Mass is 5kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the mass of an object if a force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 4 m/s2.

from newton's second law of motion , which states that

the rate change in momentum of an object is directly proportional to the force applied

definition of terms you should know.

a force is tat which tends to cane a body state of rest or uniform motion in a strait line

mass is the quantity of matter in a body

acceleration is change in velocity per time

therefore,

f∝m(V-U)/t

f=km(V-U)/t

k=1

f=m(V-U)/t

(V-U)/t=a

f=ma

f= 20 N

a=4 m/s2.

20=m*4

m=5kg
