Question

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.6 N

accelerates at 7.7 m/s^2
to the right.
What is the mass of the ball?
Answer in units of kg.

Answer 1

The mass of the ball is 1.64 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Newton's second law, F = m×a where F represents force, m is mass and a is acceleration :

`F = m * a`

`let \: F = 12.6,a = 7.7`

`12.6 = m * 7.7`

`12.6 / 7.7 = m`

`m = 1.64kg \: (3sf)`
