Using the Equation:
                                 v² = vi² + 2 · a · s    → Eq.1
where,
v = final velocity 
vi = initial velocity 
a = acceleration 
s = distance 

<span><span>We know that vi = 0 because the ball was at rest initially.
</span><span>
Therefore,

Solving Eq.1 for acceleration,
 
</span></span> v² = vi² + 2 · a · s
 v² = 0 + 2 · a · s
 v² = 2 · a · s
Rearranging for a,
a = v ²/2·<span>s
Substituting the values,
a = 46</span>²/2×1<span> 
a = 1058 m/s</span>²
