Physics

To find the mass of the crate, we first need to calculate its acceleration using the kinematic equation that relates initial and final velocities, acceleration, and distance:

 

Where:

is the final velocity (7 m/s),

is the initial velocity (1 m/s),

is the acceleration,

is the distance (16 m).

 

Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration :
