a toy car is accelerating across the floor at 6.0m/s^2 and a force of 10N is creating the motion. what is the mass of the car?

Please remember that people here will not do your work for you. You need to indicate what you understand about each item first.

There is a Newton's Law of motion that says:

F = m a

You should have heard about it by now.

Use it to solve for the mass, m.

thanks i think i got it

To find the mass of the car, you 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.

The formula is:

Force = mass x acceleration

Given that the force is 10N and the acceleration is 6.0 m/s^2, we can rearrange the formula to solve for mass:

mass = Force / acceleration

Plugging in the values, we have:

mass = 10N / 6.0 m/s^2

mass ≈ 1.67 kg

Therefore, the mass of the car is approximately 1.67 kilograms.
