Question

a golf club is swung and strikes a golf ball with a force of 12.2 N. The golf ball accelerates at 265.2 m/s2. Calculate the mass of the golf ball. Show your work and include the correct unit.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.046\ kg$

Explanation:

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