Question

Given a force of 100 N and an acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass

Answer 1

Answer: m= 20 kg

Explanation: Use the formula

F = m a

to solve this.

100 N = m (5 m/s²)

100 N / (5 m/s²) = m

20 kg = m

(N is also kgm/s², so when you divide by m/s², you are left with kg.)

Answer 2

20 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass equals force divided by acceleration, so divide 100 N by 5 m/s2 and you get your mass: 20 kg
