what is the mass of a cannonball of a force of 2,500 N gives the cannon an acceleration of 200 m/s2?


A: 25 kg

B: 12.5 kg

C: 20 kg

D: 15.0 Kg

Verified Answer :

Force(F) = mass(m) acceleration (a)
Here, F = 2500 N
a = 200 m/s²

Substitute their values into the expression, 
2500 = m 200
m = 2500 / 200
m = 25/2
m = 12.5 Kg

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

\(According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, Force = mass *acceleration.\)                                                                                                                              \(Mass = \frac{Force}{acceleration} = \frac{2500}{200} = 12.5kg.\).           Hence option B is correct.
