Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Given force is F = (3ˆi + 4ˆj +12kˆ ) N , magnitude of force is

⇒F²= (3²+4²+12²) so, F = 13 N

From Newton's second law of motion F= m.a

⇒ 13 N = m.1 so, m=13 kg
