Question

a football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s2. How much force did the kicker supply to the football

Answer 1

Answer:

6.216 N

Explanation:

As for Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

where F= the acting force

           m=subjected mass

           a= the acceleration

applying F=ma to the football

F=m*a

 =0.42*14.8

 =6.216 N

6.216 N of a force is supplied to the ball
