  • Calculating Object Mass: Force, Acceleration, and Newton's Second Law
    Here's how to solve this problem using Newton's Second Law of Motion:

    Newton's Second Law:

    * F = m * a

    Where:

    * F is the force (in Newtons, N)

    * m is the mass (in kilograms, kg)

    * a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s²)

    Given:

    * Force (F) = 30 N

    * Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

    Finding the Mass (m):

    1. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass: m = F / a

    2. Substitute the given values: m = 30 N / 5 m/s²

    3. Calculate the mass: m = 6 kg

    Therefore, the mass of the object is 6 kg.
