A bowling ball weighing 55.0 N initially moves at a speed of 5.50 m/s. How long must a force of 37.5 N be applied to the ball to stop it?
Added by Rosario N.
Step 1
We can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). We can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration (a = F/m). However, we don't have the mass of the ball, we Show more…

A $0.15 \mathrm{kg}$ baseball moving at $+26 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ is slowed to a stop by a catcher who exerts a constant force of -390 N. How long does it take this force to stop the ball? How far does the ball travel before stopping?
In constant force $35.2 \mathrm{~N} \hat{\imath}$ changes a ball's velocity from $-3.25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \hat{\imath}$ to $+4.56 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \hat{\imath}$ in $3.50 \mathrm{~s} .$ Find the ball's mass.
