Question

If you throw a 0.25-kg ball with a force of 20 N, what's the acceleration of the ball?

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration of the ball is
`80 m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the ball = 0.25 kg

Force applied on the ball = 20 Newtons

Force=mass
`*` acceleration

`acceleration=(force)/(mass)=(20 Newtons)/(0.25 kg)=80m/s^2`

Hence,the acceleration of the ball is
`80 m/s^2`

Answer 2

In physics, force is equal to mass multiplied to acceleration. We are given that the mass is 0.25 kg and the force is 20 N.

F = ma
20 N = 0.25 kg * a
20 kg*m/s^2 = 0.25 kg * a
a = 20/0.25
a = 80 m/s^2

So the acceleration of the ball is 80 m/s^2.
