Question

A bowling ball has a mass of 10.0kg. If a net force of 35N is applied to the ball, what’s the acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration =  3.5 m.s⁻²

Explanation:

Definition:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m

Given data:

Force = 35 N  (N = Kg. m.s⁻²)

Mass = 10.0 Kg

a = ?

Formula:

a = F/m

a = 35 Kg. m.s⁻²/ 10.0 Kg

a =  3.5 m.s⁻²
