We know for newton's 2nd law of motion that the force on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of that object. a 9kg bowling ball was thrown with a force of 5 n. what was it's acceleration? be sure to show how you solved the problem, not just the answer.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

5 N = (9 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side

by 9 kg : 5 N / 9 kg = acceleration

Acceleration = (5/9) kg-meter/sec²-kg

= 0.555 ... m/s².
