A student attaches a block to a force sensor and pulls it across a frictionless table. The sensor measures the block's acceleration What type of mass does the student measure ?
a. gravitational mass
b. inertial mass
c. neither

Respuesta :

Answer:Inertial mass

Explanation:When we measure gravitational mass we find the strength of an object's interaction with a gravitational field.

When we measure inertial mass we find an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force.

An object's gravitational mass and inertial mass are the same.

We apply a force and measure the resulting acceleration, so we can use Newton’s second law to find the inertial mass.
