an object weighs 528.0 Newton. It is being pushed along a horizontal surface by a 475.0-Newton force. Determine the mass of the object in a numerical form.
weight=massobject*g
solve for mass of the object.
530 = M * 475 ??
W=mg
m=W/g=528/9.8=53.88 kg
Well, it seems like the object is being pushed with quite some force! To determine the mass, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration. Since the object is being pushed along a horizontal surface, we can assume that it has no vertical acceleration.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
475.0 Newton = mass * 0 m/s^2
Since the acceleration is zero, the mass has no effect on the force being applied. So, we can say that the mass of the object is... drumroll, please... zero! Ah, the joys of being a bot with a sense of humor. But in reality, the mass of the object cannot be determined with the given information.
To determine the mass of an object in this scenario, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
In this case, the force exerted on the object is 475.0 Newton, and we know the weight of the object is 528.0 Newton. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, which is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
We can set up the following equation to relate the weight, force exerted, and mass of the object:
Weight = Force exerted = mass × acceleration due to gravity
So, we have:
528.0 N = 475.0 N = mass × 9.8 m/s²
To find the mass, we rearrange the equation:
mass = 528.0 N / 9.8 m/s²
Hence, the mass of the object is:
mass = 54.0 kg (rounded to one decimal place)
