This is an F=ma questions. Remember that force and acceleration are vectors. (That's what the boldface font means.)
1) A 14kg object accelerates at (2,4) m/s2. Calculate the magnitude of the force on the object, in Newtons.
2) Calculate the mass if F = (200, 300) N and a = (0.9, 0.3) m/s2. Enter 0 if there exists no answer.
