Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law states that the net force (F) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a):
* F = m * a
Solving for Mass
To find the mass (m), we can rearrange the equation:
* m = F / a
Plugging in the Values
* F = 200 N
* a = 500 m/s²
* m = 200 N / 500 m/s²
* m = 0.4 kg
Answer: The mass of the object is 0.4 kilograms.
