An object accelerates 8.2m/s2 when a force of 20.1 newtons is applied to it.What is the mass of the object?

We need to use this formula

F=ma we already know the values of F and a, now we have to rearrange it to find the mass and we end up with this;

m=F/a now all we have to do is substitute the values we have into the formula

m=20.1N / 8.2m/s²

m=2.4512kg

Good luck!
