A force of 200 N causes an object to accelerate at 2m/s^2. What is the object's mass?
recall that F = ma
now just plug in your numbers to get m.
To find the object's mass, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m * a). Rearranging the equation, we have m = F / a.
Given that the force is 200 N and the acceleration is 2 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the equation to find the mass:
m = 200 N / 2 m/s^2
Now we can calculate the mass:
m = 100 kg
Therefore, the object's mass is 100 kg.
