Ava threw a hamster at her sister the other day she used 12N of force to accelerate the hamster at 8m/s2.what was the mass of the poor hamster?SHOW ALL WORK

Respuesta :

We are given:

The force applied on the poor hamster (F) = 12 N

Acceleration of the poor Hamster (a) = 8 m/s²

Solving for the mass of the Poor Hamster:

From newton's second equation of motion, we know that:

F = ma

replacing the given values

12 = 8 * m

m = 12/8 kg

m = 3/2 kg

The poor Hamster weighs 3/2 kg
