Question

A student uses a magnet to move a 0.0 25 KG metal ball the magnet exerts a force of five in which causes the body to begin moving what is the acceleration of the ball when it begins to move

Answer 1

The acceleration of the ball when it begins to move is 200 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the metal ball, m = 0.025 kg

The force exerted by the magnet on the ball, F = 5 N

From Newton's second law, F = m × a

Where;

a = The acceleration of the ball

Therefore, by substitution, we have;

5 = 0.025 × a

a = 5/0.025 = 200 m/s²

The acceleration of the ball when it begins to move = 200 m/s²
