PLEASE HELP IM BEGGING YOU! What is the mass of an object that requires 100N of force to accelerate it at 5m/s2? I

20 kg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 100 N

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

Force (F) is simply defined as the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a). Mathematically, the force (F) can be expressed as:

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = ma

With the above formula, we can simply obtain the mass of the object as follow:

Force (F) = 100 N

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Mass (m) =?

F = ma

100 = m × 5

Divide both side by 5

m = 100 / 5

m = 20 kg

Thus, the mass of the object is 20 kg.
