Question

Arysha enjoys playing lacrosse on the school team. Suppose Arysha throws a lacrosse ball with a force of 6 N, and the resulting acceleration is 43 m/s2. What is the mass of the lacrosse ball?
0.14 kg

0.14 m

O 7.2 kg

258 kg

Answer 1

Answer:

$Mass = 0.14kg$

Explanation:

Given

$Force = 6N$

$Acceleration = 43m/s^2$

Required

Determine the mass of the ball

This question will be answered using Newton's second law of motion.

Which states that

$Force = Mass * Acceleration$

Substitute values for Force and Acceleration

$6N = Mass * 43m/s^2$

Make Mass the subject

$Mass = \frac{6N}{43m/s^2}$

$Mass = 0.13953488372$

$Mass = 0.14kg$ --- (approximated)
