Blue bowling ball rolled with a force of 15 N accelerates at a rate of 3 m/sec2 a second red ball rolled with the same force accelerates at 4 m/sec2. What are the masses of the two balls?

1. Mass of the blue ball is 5 kg.

2. Mass of the red ball is 3.75 kg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

For the blue ball:

Force (F) = 15 N

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Mass (m) =.?

Force the red ball:

Force (F) = the same with that of the blue ball = 15 N

Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

Mass (m) =.?

1. Determination of the mass of the blue ball.

Force (F) = 15 N

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Mass (m) =.?

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = ma

15 = m × 3

Divide both side by 3

m = 15/3

m = 5 kg

Therefore, the mass of the blue ball is 5 kg

2. Determination of the mass of the red ball.

Force (F) = 15 N

Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

Mass (m) =.?

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = ma

15 = m × 4

Divide both side by 4

m = 15/4

m = 3.75 kg

Therefore, the mass of the blue ball is 3.75 kg

they are both synthetic elements
