According to Newton's second law which states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass.

so , considering Newton's second law of motion


Fnet=maFnet =ma

in order to determine the mass of the object we can use the above formula:

Fnet=14NFnet=14N and acceleration a=2m/s2a=2m/s2


m=Fnet/a=14/2=7kgm=Fnet/a=14/2=7kg

Answer:

mass of the object m=7kgm=7kg
