Answer 2

The acceleration of the ball is
`1.27*10^(5)\ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 145 kg

Force = 18,400 N

We need to calculate the acceleration

The acceleration is equal to the Force divided by the mass.

Using formula of acceleration

`a = (F)/(m)`

Where, F = force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

`a =(18,400)/(145*10^(-3))`

`a=1.27*10^(5)\ m/s^2`

Hence,The acceleration of the ball is
`1.27*10^(5)\ m/s^2`
