Here's how to calculate the mass:
Newton's Second Law of Motion:
* F = ma
* F = Force (Newtons, N)
* m = Mass (kilograms, kg)
* a = Acceleration (meters per second squared, m/s²)
Solving for Mass:
1. Rearrange the equation: m = F / a
2. Plug in the values: m = 100 N / 5 m/s²
3. Calculate: m = 20 kg
Therefore, the mass is 20 kilograms.
