Question

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball with a force of 1.8 N. If the mass of the ball is .43 kg. How fast will the ball accelerate?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.186 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Since Force, F= ma where m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the object. Making acceleration the subject of the formula we obtain that

a=\frac {F}{m}

Substituting 1.8 N for F and 0.43 kg for m then we obtain that

$a=\frac {1.8}{0.43}=4.186046512 m/s^{2}\approx 4.186 m/s^{2}$
