Question

What is the mass of a cannonball if a force of 2,500 N gives the cannonball an acceleration of 200 m/s2? Question 5 options: 15. 0 kg 12. 5 kg 20 kg 25 kg.

Answer 1

The mass of the given cannonball is 12.5 kg. Option B is correct.

What is Acceleration?

It is defined as the change in the direction and speed of the object. It is a vector quantity.

From, Newton's second law of motion

$F = ma$

Where,

$F$ - force = 2,500 N

$m$ - mass

$a$ - acceleration =  200 m/s²

Put the values in the formula,

$2500 = m \times 200 \\\\ m = \dfrac {2500}{200}\\\\ m = 12.5\rm \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the given cannonball is 12.5 kg.
