A horizontal force of 110.9N is applied to a sled producing an acceleration of 59.7 m/s^2. Calculate the mass of the sled. A) 18.223kg;
B) 1.858kg;
C) 0.538kg;
D) 674.896kg;

Hello! to solve this exercise you must be clear about Newton's second law, this is the physical law of the movement that explains that if we apply a certain force to an object that has mass this will produce a movement with certain acceleration, for this reason Newton developed the following formula

F=ma

where

F=force=110.9N

a=aceleration=59.7m/s^2

m=mass

solving for m

[tex]m=\frac{F}{a}\\[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{110.9}{59.7} =1.858Kg\\\\[/tex]

the mass of the sled is 1.858Kg
