Question

An awkward moose slides along an icy surface with a velocity of 5.2 m/s to the left. The moose runs into a

owbank and gradually comes to a stop over 0.47 seconds. If the force the moose experienced was 62
Newtons, calculate the mass of the moose.

Answer 1

m= 5.60kg

Step-by-step explanation:

∑F = m*a

m = ∑F/a; a = Δv/Δt

m = ΣF/(Δv/Δt)

m = (62N)/((5.2m/s)/(0.47s))

m = 5.60kg
