1. If a net force of 412 N is required to accelerate an object at 5.82 m/s2, what must the
object's mass be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The mass of the object is approximately 70.79 kilograms

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to solve this problem. This law states that the net force on an object equals the product of its mass times the acceleration:

[tex]F_{net}=m\,a[/tex]

Therefore, for this case, since the net force on the object and its acceleration are given, we can use the equation above to solve for the unknown mass:

[tex]F_{net}=m\,a\\412\,N=m\,(5.82\,\frac{m}{s^2} )\\m=\frac{412\,N}{5.82\,\frac{m}{s^2} } \\m=70.79\.kg[/tex]
