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
To determine the mass of the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion: F = m * a, where F is the force applied to the object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.
Let's use the first set of data (force = 30 N, acceleration = 1.5 m/s^2) to solve for the mass.
30 N = m * 1.5 m/s^2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5 m/s^2, we get:
m = 30 N / 1.5 m/s^2 = 20 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object experimented on in this situation is 20 kg. (Option C)
