If a ball is given acceleration of 3.0 meters/second2 while being pushed with a force of 0.75 newtons, what is the mass of the ball?

Respuesta :

Mass = force/acceleration. Mass = 0.75/3. The mass is therefore 0.25 units.

By definition of Newton's second law we have to:

[tex] F = ma
[/tex]

Where,

F: Applied force

m: mass of the object

a: acceleration of the object

Clearing the mass we have:

[tex] m = \frac{F}{a}
[/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex] m = \frac{0.75}{3}

m = 0.25 Kg
[/tex]

Answer:

The mass of the ball is:

[tex] m = 0.25 Kg [/tex]
