Answer:

Mass = 3.37 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 50.5N

Acceleration = 15m/s²

To find the mass of the golf ball;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, the formula for force is;


F = ma

Where;

  • F represents force measured in Newton.
  • m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Making mass (m) the subject of formula, we have;


Mass (m) = (F)/(a)

Substituting into the equation;


Mass (m) = (50.5)/(15)

Mass = 3.37 Kg
