The mass of the cannonball can be determined using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
Given:
Force (F) = 2,500 N
Acceleration (a) = 200 m/s^2
Using the formula, we can rearrange it to solve for mass (m):
m = F / a
m = 2,500 N / 200 m/s^2
m = 12.5 kg
Therefore, the mass of the cannonball is 12.5 kg.
What is the mass of a cannonball if a force of 2,500 N gives the cannonball an acceleration of 200 m/s2?
