A 50.0 kg boy is sitting on an amusement park ride where he accelerates straight upward from rest to a speed 30.0 m/s in 3.0 s. What is his mass as he accelerates upward?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
50.0 kg
💡 Explanation:
Mass of an object always remains constant whether the object is accelerating or not. Apparent weight of the object changes due to acceleration.
Hence the mass of the boy is $50$ kg even he accelerates upward.
Thus option C is correct.
