Question

the acceleration of a bike is 12 m/sec². the force of the fall is 48 n. what is the mass of the bike?
write and solve your own word problem:

Explanation:

First Problem:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Newton's second law is $F = ma$, where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass, $a$ is acceleration.

Step2: Rearrange for mass

Rearrange the formula to solve for $m$: $m = \frac{F}{a}$

Step3: Substitute given values

Substitute $F=48\ \text{N}$ and $a=12\ \text{m/sec}^2$:
$m = \frac{48}{12}$

Step1: State the created word problem

A box experiences a force of 60 N and accelerates at 15 m/sec². What is the mass of the box?

Step2: Use rearranged force formula

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

Step3: Plug in values

Substitute $F=60\ \text{N}$ and $a=15\ \text{m/sec}^2$:
$m = \frac{60}{15}$

Answer:

$4\ \text{kg}$
