Question

A 7.5 N force is applied to a football, generating an initial acceleration of 152m/s . Calculate the mass of the football.

Answer 1

The mass of the football is 0.049 kgs.

Step-by-step explanation:

`f \: = 7.5`

`a \: = 152`

We know,

[tex]f \: = \: ma[/tex]

So,

`m \: = \: (f)/(a)`

`m \: = (7.5)/(152)`

`m = 0.049`

Answer 2

0.049 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the football can be found by using the formula

`m = (f)/(a) \\`

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

`m = (7.5)/(152) \\ = 0.049342...`

We have the final answer as

0.049 kg

Hope this helps you
