Suppose that a constant force is applied to an object. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. A constant force acting upon an object with mass 8kg produces an acceleration of 7m/s (squared) . The acceleration of another object produced by the same force is 4m/s(squared) . What is the mass of this object?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$a=\frac{force}{mass}$$

anonymous · Answer

A constant force acting upon an object with mass 8kg produces an acceleration of 7m/s (squared) 

plug the info in formula above

$$7 m/s^2=\frac{f}{8 kg}$$

solve for f

anonymous · Answer

once you found f
plug it in here to solve for Mass

 $$a=\frac{force}{mass}$$
"The acceleration of another object produced by the same force is 4m/s(squared)"
 $$4 m/s^2=\frac{force}{mass}$$
