Answer:


0.046\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:


We\ are\ given\ that,\\Acceleration\ produced\ on\ the\ golf\ ball\ due\ to\ Force\ exerted=265.2\ m/s^2\\Magnitude\ of\ the\ Force\ exerted\ over\ the\ Golf-Ball=12.2\ N\\We\ know\ that,\\'The\ force\ acting\ on\ an\ object\ is\ equivalent\ to\ the\ product\ of\ it's\ mass\\ and\ the\ acceleration\ produced'.\\Or,\\F=ma\\Let\ the\ mass\ of\ the\ golf\ ball\ be\ m,\\Hence,\\12.2=265.2\ m\\m=(12.2)/(265.2)=0.046\ kg
