A golfer hit a golf ball with a force of 15 N and the ball traveled with an acceleration of 25 m/s/s. What
is the mass of the golf ball?

If he didn't hit it exactly horizontally OR in outer space, then the question can't be answered, because gravity would influence its acceleration.

If he DID hit it exactly horizontally, and its acceleration at the immediate instant after the hit was 25 m/s², then, from Newton's 2nd law of motion:

F = m·A

m = F / A

m = (15 N) / (25 m/s²)

m = 0.6 kg (the mass of about 13 actual real regulation golf balls)

We can get the mass of the golf ball with the application of Newton's second law. The mass of the golf ball is 0.6 kg

Given that a golfer hit a golf ball with a force of 15 N and the ball traveled with an acceleration of 25 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

The parameters given are:

Force F = 15N

Acceleration a = 25m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Mass m = ?

From Newton's second law, the force applied is directly proportional to the acceleration of the body. That is,

F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

15 = m x 25

make mass m the subject of formula

m = 15/25

m = 0.6kg

Therefore, the mass of the golf ball is 0.6 kg
