Question

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 13.5 N accelerates at 6.5 m/s^2. What is the mass of the ball?

Answer 1

2.08 kg

Explanation:

The force is given by the multiplication of the mass and the acceleration, like this:

`\begin{gathered} f=m\cdot a \\ f=13.5\text{ N} \\ a=6.5(m)/(s^2) \end{gathered}`

We replace and calculate for m:

`\begin{gathered} 13.5=m\cdot6.5 \\ m=(13.5)/(6.5) \\ m=2.08\text{ kg} \end{gathered}`

The mass is 2.08 kg
