F=ma

F/a=m

34/4 =8.5

8.5 kilograms

Answer:

Mass of the object is 8.5 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of the object is 4 m/s^2

Force applied to the object, F = 34 N

To find :

The mass of the object.

Solve :

Let m is the mass of the ball. The Newton's second law of motion defines the magnitude of force acting on an object.


F=ma


m=(F)/(a)


m=(34\ N)/(4\ m/s^2)

m = 8.5 kg

Therefore, the mass of the ball is 8.5 kg.
