Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of an object given it's acceleration and the force acting on it we use the formula


mass = (force)/(acceleration) \\

From the question

force = 500 N

acceleration = 5.0 m/s²

We have


mass = (500)/(5) \\

We have the final answer as

100 kg

Hope this helps you
