An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the
mass of the train?

Respuesta :

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

  • Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
  • Force (F) = 12 N
  • Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

  • [tex]\boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}[/tex]

Replace in the formula:

  • [tex]\boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}[/tex]

Equate the newtons:

  • [tex]\boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}[/tex]

Simplify m/s²:

  • [tex]\boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}[/tex]

It divides:

  • [tex]\boxed{m =1.5kg}[/tex]

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is 1.5 kilograms.
