Question

A cart accelerates at 2m/s2 when a force of 60 N is applied. What is the mass of the cart? Formula: F=ma

Answer 1

Mass, m = 30 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Acceleration of a cart,
`a=2\ m/s^2`

Force applied, is 60 N

It is required to find the mass of the cart.

The formula of the force acting on the cart is :

`F=ma`

m is mass of the cart

`m=(F)/(a)\\\\m=(60\ N)/(2\ m/s^2)\\\\m=30\ kg`

So, the mass of the cart is 30 kg.
