Answer:

0.9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use the equation F=m*a to solve this equation. First, we would need to get mass by itself therefore we divide out acceleration from both sides ( F/a=m*a / a ) acceleration would cancel out and the end equation should look like this ( F/a = m or m = F/a) After we do that we plug in the numbers 1.35 N / 1.5 m/s^2 we get 0.9 kg, assuming you are using kg.
