When a net force of 17.0 newtons is applied to a dictionary placed on a frictionless table, it accelerates by 3.75 meters/secondÆ. What is the mass of the book?. . A. 4.00. B. 4.53. C. 5.00. D. 6.00 .
Answer:
Mass of the book is 4.53 kg
Explanation:
It is given that,
The net force applied to a dictionary which is placed on a friction less table is 17 N
Acceleration of the dictionary, a = 3.75 m/s²
The net force acting on the dictionary is given by :
F = m a
\(m=\dfrac{F}{a}\)
\(m=\dfrac{17\ N}{3.75\ m/s^2}\)
m = 4.53 kg
Hence, the mass of the book is 4.53 kg
