Answer:

0.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law states that:


F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the object's mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:


F=0.5 N is the force exerted on the object

m is the ball's mass


a=2.0 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Solving the formula for m, we can find the ball's mass:


m=(F)/(a)=(0.5 N)/(2.0 m/s^2)=0.25 kg
