What is the mass of a cannon ball if a force 2500 n gives the cannon ball an acceleration of 200 m/s squared?

Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ;  [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)

Given:                      Find:                   Formula:                  Solve for m:

F: 2500N                 mass:?                F=ma Eq.1              m=F/a  Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2  

Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
