Question

What is the mass of an object that experiences an acceleration of 5m/s^2 when a force of 500N acts on it?

Answer 1

Data;
m (mass) = ?
a (acceleration) = 5 m/s²
F (force) = 500 N

Formula:
F = m * a

Solving:

`F = m*a`

`500 = m*5`

`500 = 5m`

`5m = 500`

`m = (500)/(5)`

`\boxed{\boxed{m = 100\:Kg}}`

Answer:
The mass of an object you are experimenting with is 100 kg
