Determine the body mass if, under the action of a force of 5 N, the body acquired an acceleration of 2.5 m / s2.

Given: F (value of the force that acts on the body) = 5 N; a (acceleration that the body has acquired) = 2.5 m / s2.

The mass of the body is determined using Newton’s second law: F = m * a, whence the mass of the body is m = F / a.

Let’s make the calculation: m = 5 / 2.5 = 2 kg.

Answer: Body weight is 2 kilograms.
