Question

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

Answer 1

M=f/a

m = .75/3 = .25

m=.25

Explanation:

Answer 2

The applicable relation between force, mass, and acceleration is ...

... F = ma

Fill in the given values and solve for the mass.

... 0.75 N = m·3 m/s²

... (0.75 kg·m/s)/(3 m/s²) = m = 0.25 kg

The mass of the ball is 0.25 kg.
