Question

A 0.426 kilogram football is kicked by a punter. If the applied force to the call is 62 Newton’s what is the acceleration of the ball.

Answer 1

62/.426=a

154.54= acceleration

Answer 2

Answer: The acceleration is 145.54 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation: The second Newton's law says that:

F = m*a

This says that the Force applied on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of the object.

We know that the mass of the ball is 0.426kg and the force is 62N, so we have

62N = 0.426kg*a

a=62N/0.426kg= 145.54 m/s^2
