Question

A shot-putter exerts an unbalanced force of 140 N on a shot giving it an

acceleration of 19 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?

Answer 1

7.37 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

By Newtons Second Law of Unbalanced Forces

Force = Mass × Acceleration

140N = Mass × 19m/s^2

Mass = 140N / 19m/s^2

= 7.37 kg
