Force is the product of an object's mass and acceleration.

To solve this given word problem we can first identify the given and the apt formula to use in this phenomenon: Given: Force = 4, 500 N = 4, 500 kg-m/s^2 Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Formula: f=ma

Derivation: m = f/a

Solution:

1. M = f/a

2. M = 4,500 kg-m/s^2 / 5 m/s^2

3. M = 900 kg

Hence, the object’s mass is 900 kg.
