The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:
where
is the change in momentum of the football
is the time elapsed
The change in momentum can be written as
where
m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football
u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)
v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity
Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:
