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?

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.
