0.013 kg

75 kg

240 kg

786 kg

Hello,


The answer you are looking for happened to be the answer I too stumbled upon a while ago! I have now found the quite simple answer thus making this for you my dear!! Lol! It's 75kg!! Cheers to a great football game

I don't know what it is that why I am asking you so I can get the right answer when I go to class.

Well, let's use our trusty formula: force equals mass times acceleration.

So, rearranging the equation to solve for mass, we have: mass equals force divided by acceleration.

Now let's plug in the numbers: mass equals 240.0 N (force) divided by 3.2 m/s^2 (acceleration).

And after doing the math, we find that the mass of the object is 75 kg.

So the answer is... weight for it... 75 kg!

To find the mass of the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).

We are given:
Force (F) = 240.0 N
Acceleration (a) = 3.2 m/s^2

Using the formula F = m * a, we can rearrange it to solve for mass (m):

m = F / a

Substituting the given values, we have:

m = 240.0 N / 3.2 m/s^2

m ≈ 75 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is approximately 75 kg.

To find the mass of an object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

In this case, we have a force of 240.0 N and an acceleration of 3.2 m/s^2.

Using the formula:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Substituting the given values:

240.0 N = Mass x 3.2 m/s^2

Now, we can solve for the mass:

Mass = 240.0 N / 3.2 m/s^2

Mass = 75 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 75 kg.

The correct option is B) 75 kg.
