a kid uses a slingshot to shoot a rock at a target. when the kid applies a net force of 8.68 N forward, the rock accelerates at a rate of 12.4 m/s^2 forward. What is the rocks mass?

Answer:

0.7kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the rock  = 8.68N

Acceleration  = 12.4m/s²

Unknown:

Mass of the rock  = ?

Solution:

From newton's second law of motion, the net force on a body is the product of mass and acceleration

  Net force  = mass x acceleration

Now insert the parameters and solve the problem;

         8.68  = mass x 12.4

          mass = [tex]\frac{8.68}{12.4}[/tex]  = 0.7kg
