Question

a net force of 30 n acting on a wooden block produces an acceleration of $6\\ \text{m/s}^2$ for the block. what is the mass of the block?
the mass of the block is $\boldsymbol{\square}$ kg.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

$F = ma$

Step2: Rearrange for mass

$m = \frac{F}{a}$

Step3: Substitute given values

$m = \frac{30\ \text{N}}{6\ \text{m/s}^2}$

Answer:
