What is the mass of an object that requires a force of 4,500 N to accelerate it at a rate of 5 m/s²?

Asked by ChrystalMantifel

Answer (2)

To solve this given word problem we can first identify the given and the apt formula to use in this phenomenon:
Given:
Force = 4, 500 N = 4, 500 kg-m/s^2
Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Formula: f=ma
Derivation: m = f/a
Solution:
1. M = f/a
2. M = 4,500 kg-m/s^2 / 5 m/s^2
3. M = 900 kg
Hence, the object’s mass is **900 kg.

By applying Newton's second law of motion, we find that the mass of the object is 900 kg when a force of 4,500 N accelerates it at 5 m/s². This is calculated using the formula m = F/a. Thus, the result indicates that the object has a mass of 900 kg.
