Question

a 50.5 force is applied to a golf ball generating an initial acceleration of 15 m/s2 caculate the mass of the golf ball.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass = 3.37 Kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 50.5N

Acceleration = 15m/s²

To find the mass of the golf ball;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, the formula for force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

• F represents force measured in Newton.

• m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

• a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Making mass (m) the subject of formula, we have;

$Mass (m) = \frac{F}{a}$

Substituting into the equation;

$Mass (m) = \frac{50.5}{15}$

Mass = 3.37 Kg
