Equal forces act on two bodies. The first has a mass of 50 g and moves with an acceleration of 1 m / s2.

Equal forces act on two bodies. The first has a mass of 50 g and moves with an acceleration of 1 m / s2. The second body moves with an acceleration of 1 cm / s2. Find the mass of the second body.

From the condition F1 = F2
Let’s find the first force from Newton’s second law:
F1 = m1 * a1 = 0.05kg * 1 = 0.05H
A2 = 1cm / s ^ 2 = 0.01m / s ^ 2
Let’s write Newton’s second law for the second case and find the mass:
m2 = F2 / a2 = 0.05 / 0.01 = 5kg
Answer: five kilograms
