Answer:
141.87 kg.
Explanation:
Deduction From Newton's second law of motion.
F = ma....................... Equation 1
Where F = Force acting on the object, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object.
Making m the subject of the equation,
m = F/a .................. Equation 2
But
a = (v-u)/t............... Equation 3
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Given: v = 107 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( fro rest), t = 2.3 s.
Substituting into equation 3
a = (107-0)/2.3
a = 107/2.3
a = 46.52 m/s².
Also Given, F = 6600 N
Substitute into equation 2
m = 6600/46.52
m = 141.87 kg.
Hence the mass of the object = 141.87 kg.
