Answer: 3.2 kilograms

=================================================

Work Shown:

  • F = 8 newtons = force applied
  • m = unknown mass in kilograms
  • a = 2.5 m/s^2 = acceleration

Apply Newton's Second Law of Motion

F = m*a

8 = m*2.5

2.5m = 8

m = 8/2.5

m = 3.2

The mass is 3.2 kilograms
