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

the equation you use here is m=fa or mass=force x acceleration
you plug in the 13.5 N as the force, 6.5 m/s^2 as the acceleration, and do the math.
13.5 x 6.5
That would equal 87.75 which would be your answer.

Answer:

Mass of the ball is 2.07 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of the car is +6.55 m/s^2

Force applied to the ball, F = 13.5 N

To find :

The mass of the ball.

Solve :

Let m is the mass of the ball. The force by an object is given by the product of mass and its acceleration. Its formula is given by:


F=ma


m=(F)/(a)


m=(13.5\ N)/(6.5\ m/s^2)

m = 2.07 kg

Therefore, the mass of the ball is 2.07 kg.
