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.

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


What is the mass of a cement block that requires a force of 200 N to accelerate it at 5ms?

Using the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration, we can rearrange it to solve for mass: m = F/a. Plugging in the values, we get m = 200 N / 5 m/s^2 = 40 kg. Therefore, the mass of the cement block is 40 kg.


What is the mass of cement block that requires a force of 200 N to accelerate it at 5 M's?

The mass of the cement block can be calculated using the formula F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Given: F = 200 N, a = 5 m/s^2. Rearranging the formula to solve for mass, we get m = F / a = 200 N / 5 m/s^2 = 40 kg. Therefore, the mass of the cement block is 40 kg.


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.


How does force and massmplay a role in acceleration?

in short: larger mass requires more force in order to accelerate


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 of static friction between the sprinter's foot and the starting block causes him to accelerate out of the block. The static friction force acts forward on the sprinter, helping him overcome the backward force he exerts on the starting blocks.


What is the acceleration of a 40-kg block of cement when pulled sideways with the net force of 200 N?

The acceleration of the block of cement can be calculated using Newton's second law: a = F/m, where F is the net force and m is the mass of the block. Plugging in the values, we get a = 200 N / 40 kg = 5 m/s^2. Therefore, the acceleration of the block of cement is 5 m/s^2.


How would the observed value of the acceleration of a block be affected if the one used is heavier?

From f = m*a, a = f/m, so if the force remains constant and the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease. But if the block is on an incline and the force is provided by gravity, the force will increase directly proportional to the mass of the block, and acceleration will remain the same.


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.

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.


A 50kg block of cement is pulled upward with a force of 600NWhat is its acceleration?

Using Newton's second law (F=ma), the acceleration can be calculated by dividing the force applied by the mass of the block. Therefore, the acceleration of the 50kg block under a 600N force is 600N / 50kg = 12 m/s^2.
