Question

When Jacob bats a baseball with a net force of 4.719 N, it accelerates 33 m/s2. What is the mass of the baseball?

Answer 1

0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

m = F/a

= (4.719 N)/(33 m/s²)

= 0.143 kg

Answer 2

Given:
F = 4.719 N, the applied force
a = 33 m/s², the acceleration

Let m = the mass.

By definition,
F = m*a
Therefore,
m = F/a
= (4.719 N)/(33 m/s²)
= 0.143 kg

Answer: 0.143 kg
