The mass of a subway car and passengers is 47,600 kg. If its acceleration as it leaves a station is 0.5 m/s2, what is the net force (in N) acting on it? (Enter the magnitude.)   In an experiment performed in a space station, a force of 88 N causes an object to have an acceleration equal to 8 m/s2. What is the object's mass?
