Question

A soccer player kicks a ball with a force of 900 newtons. The ball has a mass of 0.5 kilograms. At what rate will the ball accelerate?
Explain and show work

Answer 1

Answer:

1800 m/$s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know this because of Newton's first law, $F=ma$, which shows us that the force on an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration it recieves. This means that taking our values of 900N and 0.5kg, and plugging them in,

$900N=(0.5kg)*(1800m/s^2)$

This is honestly a little strange because the force applied and the acceleration seem ridiculous, and a little strange for an answer. Either the values are not meant to be nearly close to reality, or you made a typo.
