A force of 1.35 newtons is required to accelerate a book by 1.5 meters/second2 along a frictionless surface. What is the mass of the book?
A.
0.45 kilograms
B.
0.90 kilograms
C.
1.35 kilograms
D.
1.5 kilograms
E.
1.8 kilograms
We can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma).
In this case, we know the force required to accelerate the book (F = 1.35 N) and the acceleration (a = 1.5 m/s^2).
Rearranging the equation to solve for mass, we get:
mass = force / acceleration
mass = 1.35 N / 1.5 m/s^2
mass = 0.9 kilograms.
Therefore, the mass of the book is 0.90 kilograms.
So the answer is B.
