The idea here is to use Newton's Second Law: F=ma, that is, force = mass x acceleration. Replace the numbers you know - I assume the acceleration is in meters/second2 - and solve for the one you don't - in this case, the mass.

Why is a greater amount of force needed to accelerate a truck than a jeepney even if they are running with the same velocity?
The truck has a greater mass and therefore a greater amount of inertia to overcome. To accelerate a greater mass requires a greater force.
What will an object always do when acted on by an unbalanced force?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But when the entire group of forceson an object is unbalanced, then the object must accelerate.
What happens if you increase the net force on an object?
The object will accelerate.
The force required to slide an object is equal to?
The force required to accelerate an object depends on the object's mass. Newton's second law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration. Re-written to solve for acceleration, this becomes Acceleration = Force/Mass. Basically, this means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it. Also, the faster you want to accelerate the object, the more force you will need.
What is necessary force wise to accelerate a system?
The total input force in a given direction should be positive. (e.g. You have to overcome friction) Then by Newtons law of motion: F =ma or a =m / F which will cause a body to accelerate.
What is the mass of a cement block that requires a force of 200N to accelerate it at 5 meters per second squared?
F = M AM = F/A = 200/5 = 40 kg
How does force and massmplay a role in acceleration?
in short: larger mass requires more force in order to accelerate
Work requires a force which causes?
work requires energy in an efficient form, but that doesn't always mean you get work done from energy. here is an illustration: bob pushes on a huge cement block with all his might, of course it doesn't move because his energy is not being used efficiently, as opposed to Joe, who does the same thing, but his huge cement block is on a floor of ball bearings, so he is able to move it because the block is sitting on something that easily transfers energy.
What is the relationship between forcemassand acceleration?
To get something t accelerate, you must apply a force to it. To get it to accelerate faster requires more force. Also, if something has a greater mass, it requires more force to get the same acceleration as something of lesser mass. Leave a note on my message board if you would like some formulas relating to mass, force, and acceleration.
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
Why is a greater amount of force needed to accelerate a truck than a jeepney even if they are running with the same velocity?
The truck has a greater mass and therefore a greater amount of inertia to overcome. To accelerate a greater mass requires a greater force.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
A sprinter of a mass 65.0 kg starts his race by pushing horizontally backward on the starting blocks with a force of 200 N What force causes him to accelerate out of the block?
the force the blocks exert foreword on him
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
Force required to accelerate a mass?
Force = mass x acceleration. Any amount of force will accelerate a mass. The amount of force you want to use depends on how quickly you want to accelerate something.
How can Gravity effectively change the force required to accelerate both a small mass and large mass objects to the same speed?
The force on a large mass is greater, but it requires a larger force to accelerate a larger mass so the aceleration becomes the same. Force = mass x acceleration. But force of gravity =mg, therefore mg =ma, so a=g.
