Question

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2? 2.4 kg 6 kg 12.2 kg 60 kg

Answer 1

F = ma
12 = 0.2m
so m = 12/0.2 = 60kg

Answer 2

Answer : m = 60 kg

Explanation :

It is given that,

Net force acting on an object is, F = 12 N.

Acceleration produced on it,
`a=0.2\ m/s^2`

Newton's second law of motion gives the measure of force acting on the object. i.e.

F = m a

m is the mass

Using second law of motion we get :

`m=(F)/(a)`

`m=(12\ N)/(0.2\ m/s^2)`

`m=60\ kg`

So, the correct option is (d).

Hence, this is the required solution.
