What is the mass of an object if a force of 34 N produces an acceleration of 4 m/s^2?
Answer:
Mass of the object is 8.5 kg.
Explanation:
Given that,
Acceleration of the object is 4 m/s^2
Force applied to the object, F = 34 N
To find :
The mass of the object.
Solve :
Let m is the mass of the ball. The Newton's second law of motion defines the magnitude of force acting on an object.
\(F=ma\)
\(m=\dfrac{F}{a}\)
\(m=\dfrac{34\ N}{4\ m/s^2}\)
m = 8.5 kg
Therefore, the mass of the ball is 8.5 kg.
