To find the mass of the body given a force of 300 N producing an acceleration of 2 m/s², you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
Here's how you can calculate the mass:
1. Write down the given values:
- Force (F) = 300 N
- Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
2. Use the formula for Newton's second law:
F = m * a
where:
- F is the force
- m is the mass
- a is the acceleration
3. Plug in the values:
300 N = m * 2 m/s²
4. Solve for the mass (m):
m = 300 N / 2 m/s²
m = 150 kg
Therefore, the mass of the body is 150 kg.
