C) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object so acceleration is used to describe the rate of change. I hope this helps!!

A ball is hit so that it accelerates at 10 m/s2. The ball hits a glove with a force of 5 N. What is the mass of the ball?

Answer:

0.5 kg

Explanation:

» Concepts

Newton's second law, the Law of Acceleration, states that F = ma, where F = Force in Newtons, m = mass in kg, and a = acceleration in m/s^2.

» Application

We are asked to find the mass of the ball using the equation F = ma. We're also given the force and acceleration, so the equation looks like 5 = 10(m).

» Solution

Step 1: Divide both sides by 10.

$5/10=10m/10$
$m=0.5$

Thus, the mass of the ball is 0.5 kg.
