To find the mass of the object, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a):
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
You can rearrange this equation to solve for mass:
\[ m = \frac{F}{a} \]
Given:
- Force \( F = 30 \, \text{N} \)
- Acceleration \( a = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[ m = \frac{30 \, \text{N}}{2 \, \text{m/s}^2} = 15 \, \text{kg} \]
Therefore, the mass of the object is \( 15 \, \text{kg} \).
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
You can rearrange this equation to solve for mass:
\[ m = \frac{F}{a} \]
Given:
- Force \( F = 30 \, \text{N} \)

Now, plug in the values:
\[ m = \frac{30 \, \text{N}}{2 \, \text{m/s}^2} = 15 \, \text{kg} \]
Therefore, the mass of the object is \( 15 \, \text{kg} \).
