Question

What is the mass of an object if a net force of 8.0 N causes it to accelerate at 1.1 m/s2?

Answer 1

The mass will be 7.27 kg

Answer 2

Explanation :

It is given that,

Net force acting on an object, F = 8N

Acceleration of the object,
`a=1.1\ m/s^2`

We can find the mass of an object using second law.

According to Newton's second law of motion :

F = m a

`m=(F)/(a)`

`m=(8\ N)/(1.1\ m/s^2)`

m = 7.27 kg

So, the mass of an object is 7.27 kg

Hence, this is the required solution.
