A force of 240 N causes an object to accelerate at 3.2 m/s2. What is the mass of the object? A.75N
B.75 kg
C.0.013 kg
D.768 kg
Which is the answer?

B.75 kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the object = 240N

Acceleration of the object = 3.2m/s²

Unknown:

Mass of the object = ?

Solution:

Force is the pull or push on an object. According to Newton's first law; it is mathematically expressed as;

     Force  = mass x acceleration

The unknown here is the mass, simply input the parameters and solve for it;

       240  = mass x 3.2

           mass  =   = 75kg

The mass of the object is 75kg

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
