Question

arysha enjoys playing lacrosse on the school team. suppose arysha throws a lacrosse ball with force of 6 n, and the resulting acceleration is 43 m/s². what is the mass of the lacrosse ball?
a. 0.14 kg
b. 0.14 m
c. 7.20 kg
d. 258.00 kg

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

\(F = ma\), where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration.

Step2: Solve for mass \(m\)

Rearrange the formula to \(m=\frac{F}{a}\). Given \(F = 6\) N and \(a = 43\) \(m/s^{2}\), then \(m=\frac{6}{43}\approx0.14\) kg.

Answer:

A. \(0.14\) kg
