Mass from Force and Acceleration (Simple) – Rankers Physics

Uncategorized: Practice Problem & Solution

A \(10text{ N}\) force is applied on a body produce in it an acceleration of \(1text{ m/s}^2\). The mass of the body is: (1996)
15 kg
20 kg
10 kg
5 kg

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Uncategorized. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

From Newton's second law of motion, force \(F = ma\). Given \(F = 10text{ N}\) and \(a = 1text{ m/s}^2\). Therefore, mass \(m = F/a = 10text{ N} / 1text{ m/s}^2 = 10text{ kg}\).
