Jay has a football with an undetermined mass. He throws the ball with a force of 8 N. He is standing on afootball fdield so he his able to figure out the acceleration of hos throw using the markings on the field. Therefore, he knows that the ball traveled with an acceleration of 20 m/s² What was the ball's mass in kilograms What is given: what is equation: what is required: What is solution:

a=20 m/s^2
m=?
Find: m
Formula:m=F/a
Solution:m=8 kg.m/s^2 / 20 m/s^2
(Cancel m/s^2)
m=2.5 kg
