Astandard object defined as having a mass of exactly 8.86 kg is given an acceleration of 2.27 m/s 2 when a certain force is applied to it. a second object of unknown mass acquires an acceleration of 1.0721 m/s 2 when the same force is applied to it. what is the mass of the second object? answer in units of kg.

Mass of second object = 18.76 kg

Explanation:

We have force is the product of mass and acceleration,

              Force = Mass x Acceleration

                   F = ma

A standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 8.86 kg is given an acceleration of 2.27 m/s² when a certain force is applied to it.

         Force applied, F = 8.86 x 2.27 = 20.11 N

A second object of unknown mass acquires an acceleration of 1.0721 m/s² when the same force is applied to it.

          Force = Mass x Acceleration

          20.11 = Mass x 1.0721

          Mass = 18.76 kg

      Mass of second object = 18.76 kg

with 5 seconds, no, but over time if the police car stays at 65m/s ad the speeding car stays at 60, then obviously yes, but the answer to your question would be, no.

hope this : )
