  • Calculating 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)

    * m is the mass (in kilograms)

    * a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared)

    Given:

    * F = 4500 N

    * a = 5 m/s²

    To find:

    * m = ?

    Solution:

    1. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass (m):

    m = F / a

    2. Substitute the given values:

    m = 4500 N / 5 m/s²

    3. Calculate the mass:

    m = 900 kg

    Therefore, the mass of the object is 900 kilograms.
