A volleyball is hit and experiences a net
force of 2 N, which causes it to accelerate at 8 m/s 2. What is the mass
of the volleyball?

0.25 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

net force = 2 N

acceleration of volleyball = 8 m/s

mass of the volleyball = ?

According to the Newton 2nd law of motion, net force depends on the mass of the object and acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Net force = mass x acceleration

2N = mass x 8m/s²

Mass = 2N / 8m/s²

Mass = 0.25 kg

Thus, the mass of the volleyball is 0.25 kg

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

martina travels from school to her mom's office. from there, she walks to school. after school, she walks to the library and then to a friends house before finally ending back at home. find martina's total distance traveled.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
