Question

A football player kicks a ball with the mass of 0.42 kg.the average acceleration of the foot ball was 14.8 m/s2. how much force did the kicker supply to the football?

6.22 m/s2

6.22 N

35.24 m/s2

35.24 N

Answer 1

Force = mass * acceleration

= 0.42 * 14.8

Force = 6.22 N

Answer 2

6.22 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

`m=0.42kg`

`a=14.8 m/s^(2)`

According to Second Newton's Law, a force is defined as

`F=ma`

That is, a force accelerates the mass which is being applied such force. So, in this case, we have to replace given values, and find
`F`

`F=ma\\F=(0.42kg)(14.8m/s^(2))\\ F\approx 6.22N`

Therefore, the right answer is the second option.
