Question

A ball is thrown at 200 ms-2 and its mass is 0.05kg what force is necessary to change

its direction?

Answer 1

F = 10 [N]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 0.05 [kg]

a = acceleration = 200 [m/s²]

`F =m*a\\F = 0.05*200\\F = 10 [N]`
