Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum with respect to time, going in the same direction as the force.

Let F = force, m = mass of object, v = velocity of object, mv = momentum.

F = d/dt(mv) = m(dv / dt) = ma; a = acceleration.

Let us assume that the object starts from rest to 5 m/s within 1 seconds, hence:

F = m(dv / dt)

200 N = m[(5 m/s - 0 m/s) / (1 s)]

200 = 5m

m = 40 kg
