Type your answer...

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration of the ball is 200 m/s².

Explanation:

Force:

Force is the push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change velocity or to accelerate.

Force represents as a vector, which means it has both magnitude and direction.

Given:

Mass of metal ball = 0.025 kg

Force = 5 N

To Find:

Acceleration, = ?

Solution:

Formula:
