Question

The net force on a 2.1 kg bowling ball is 120 N forward. What is the acceleration of

the bowling ball?

Answer 1

`57.1 \ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

The Newton's Second Law of Motion

The second Newton's law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

The formula is:

`\displaystyle a=(F)/(m)`

The bowling ball has a mass of m=2.1 Kg and is exerted a force of 120 N, thus:

`\displaystyle a=(120)/(2.1)`

`a=57.1 \ m/s^2`

The acceleration of the bowling ball is
`\mathbf{57.1 \ m/s^2}`
