To find the mass of the object, we can rearrange the formula:
Mass = Force / Acceleration
For the first set of data:
Mass = 30 N / 1.5 m/s^2
Mass = 20 kg
For the second set of data:
Mass = 70 N / 3.5 m/s^2
Mass = 20 kg
For the third set of data:
Mass = 85 N / 4.25 m/s^2
Mass ≈ 20 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object in this situation is 20 kg. The correct option is c) 20 kg.
Net Force = Mass × Acceleration
F = m × a
An experiment is set up and collects the following data
Force (N) Acceleration (m/s^2)
30 1.5
70 3.5
85 4.25
What is the mass of the object experimented on in this situation?
a
10 kg
b
15 kg
c
20 kg
d
25 kg
