Please help, I haven’t seen this question anywhere !

Answer:

2.4kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's 2nd law tells us that force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration, or F = ma. We can solve this equation for mass by rearranging algebraically:

m = F/a

So:

m = (12.0N)/(5.0m/s2) = 2.4kg
