Question

A 25-N force accelerates a child in stroller at 1.1m/s what is the mass of the child and the stroller?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 22.73kg

Explanation:

F = m*a

m = F/a

m = 25N/1.1m/s²

m = 22.73kg

That's assuming that is a typo and it was suppose to be 1.1m/s² vs. 1.1m/s

Answer 2

Hi there!

According to Newton's Second Law:

$\huge\boxed{\Sigma F = ma}}$

Where:

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the mass of the child and stroller combined:

$F/a = m$

Plug in the given values:

$25/1.1 = \boxed{22.72 kg}$
