Question

What is the mass of an object that creates a force of 30 N as it accelerates 2 m/s2?

Answer 1

Given:

Force, F = 30 N

Acceleration, a = 2 m/s^2

Let's determine the mass of the object.

To find the mass(m) of the object, apply the formula below:

`F=m\ast a`

Rewrite the formula for mass(m):

`m=(F)/(a)`

Where:

F = 30 N

a = 2 m/s^2

Thus, we have:

`m=(30)/(2)=15\text{ kg}`

Therefore, the mass of the object is 15 kg

ANSWER:

15 kg
