Question

a force of 250 n is applied to an object that accelerates at a rate of 5 m/sec². what is the mass of the object? image of a man pushing an elephant options: 500 g, 500 kg, 50 kg, 50 g

Explanation:

Step1: Newton's second law formula

$F = ma$

Step2: Rearrange for mass

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

Step3: Substitute values

$m = \frac{250\ \text{N}}{5\ \text{m/s}^2}$

Step4: Calculate mass

$m = 50\ \text{kg}$

Answer:

C. 50 kg
