Determine the mass of the ball, which, under the action of a force of 50 mN, acquires an acceleration of 10 cm / 1 sec2.

Task data: F (force that acted on a given ball) = 50 mN (50 * 10-3 N); a (acceleration acquired by the given ball) = 10 cm / s2 (0.1 m / s2).

The mass of a given ball can be determined by the formula: m = F / a.

Let’s calculate: m = 50 * 10-3 / 0.1 = 0.5 kg.

Answer: The target ball has a mass of 0.5 kg.
