when a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 25 kg, the acceleration of the object is 3 m/s^2. when the same force acts upon another object, its acceperation is 5 m/s^2. what js the mass of the object?



Answer :

Answer: The mass of the object is 15 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of the object, we can use the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, given by Newton's second law of motion: F = m * a, where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

Given:

- For the first object: mass = 25 kg, acceleration = 3 m/s^2

- For the second object: acceleration = 5 m/s^2

First, we calculate the force applied to the first object:

F = m * a

F = 25 kg * 3 m/s^2

F = 75 N

Now, we use this force to find the mass of the second object:

m = F / a

m = 75 N / 5 m/s^2

m = 15 kg

Therefore, the mass of the second object is 15 kg.
