Question

POSSIBLE POINTS: 2The graph below shows the relationship between the force acting on an object and the acceleration of the object. What is the acceleration of the objectwhen a 3 - newton force acts on it?____________What is the object's mass? ____________

Answer 1

From the graph we notice that when the force is 3 N the acceleration is 0.6 meters per second per second.

Now, to find the mass we use Newton's second law:

`F=ma`

for the point we found earlier we have:

`\begin{gathered} 3=0.6m \\ m=(3)/(0.6) \\ m=5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the mass of the object is 5 kg
