Determine the mass of a ball that, under the action of a force of 0.05 N, receives an acceleration of 10 cm / s2.

To determine the value of the mass of the specified ball, you must use the formula: m = F / a (Newton’s second law).

Variables: F – acting force (F = 0.05 N); a – the acceleration obtained by the specified ball (a = 10 cm / s2 = 0.1 m / s2).

Calculation: m = F / a = 0.05 / 0.1 = 0.5 kg.

Answer: The mass of the specified ball is 0.5 kg.
