The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • Therefore the mass of an object is 14.16 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force:

The push or pull on an object with mass that cause change in the velocity

It is a vector quantity.

The formula to calculate the force is:

F = m × a

Given:

Force (F) = -136 N

acceleration (a) = -9.6 m/s^2

To calculate:

mass of the object (m)

We know that,

F = m × a

where,

F represents the force of the object

m represents mass of an object

a is acceleration of an object

From the equation;

-136 = m × -9.6

m =
(-136)/(-9.6)

m = 14.16 grams

Therefore the mass of an object is 14.16 grams.
