  • Calculate Mass: Force, Acceleration & Newton's Second Law Explained
    You're very close! The provided information is correct, but there's a slight mistake in how the acceleration is expressed. It should be 5 m/s² (meters per second squared).

    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.
