Question

A force of 450 N accelerates a box across a frictionless surface at a rate of 15 m/s2. What is the mass of the box?

Answer 1

You can use the Newton's second law of motion: \(F=ma\).

Answer 2

Lets go over the given information:
Force (F) = 450N
acceleration (a) = 15 m/s^2
Using the formula provided by tinybookworm, which is Newtons second law of motion, we have F = ma.
Solve for mass we get \[F = ma \implies a = \frac{ F }{ m }\]
