Physics

To find the mass of the object, we first need to determine the net force acting on it. The net force can be calculated by subtracting the frictional force from the applied force:

Net Force = Applied Force − Frictional Force

Net Force = 50 N – 10 N = 40 N

 

Then, we can use Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration:

F = ma

Rearranging this gives us:

 

Where

F is the net force (40 N),

a is the acceleration (5 m/s²).
