Answer:
Mass of second object = 18.76 kg
Explanation:
We have force is the product of mass and acceleration,
Force = Mass x Acceleration
F = ma
A standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 8.86 kg is given an acceleration of 2.27 m/s² when a certain force is applied to it.
Force applied, F = 8.86 x 2.27 = 20.11 N
A second object of unknown mass acquires an acceleration of 1.0721 m/s² when the same force is applied to it.
Force = Mass x Acceleration
20.11 = Mass x 1.0721
Mass = 18.76 kg
Mass of second object = 18.76 kg
