Answer:
The mass of the softball is 0.19 Kg
Explanation:
Mechanical Force
According to Newton's second law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
[tex]F=m.a[/tex]
Where a is the acceleration produced on the object.
According to the question, the softball is thrown with a force of F=3.02 N and the ball is accelerated at [tex]a=15.9\ m/s^2[/tex]. To calculate the mass of the ball, we can solve the equation for m:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{F}{a}[/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{3.02}{15.9}=0.19\ Kg[/tex]
The mass of the softball is 0.19 Kg
