Tim is pushing a heavy box across the floor. He is using 300N of force and can accelerate at 2m/s/s. What is the mass of the box?

-298 kg
-600 kg
-0.006 kg
-150 kg

Respuesta :

  • F=300N
  • a=2m/s^2

Using Newton's second law

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=ma[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 300=2m[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m=150kg[/tex]

Hey there!

The formula of “mass” in physics is:

m = F/a

Whereas “f” is ‘force’, “a” is ‘acceleration’, & “m” is your ‘mass’ of course.

mass = 300 Net force/2 acceleration

300 Net force/2 acceleration = m

mass = 150

Therefore, your answer is: 150 kg

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
