Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration in this problem is 20

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. When a force is exerted on a body and the net force is greater than zero, it begins to accelerate.

  • A golf ball often accelerate from rest when being hit.
  • Its initial velocity in this instance is usually zero.
  • As it is hit, the acceleration increases to a point where it begins to tend towards zero is momentum decreases.
  • From the given problem, the mass of the ball is 0.2kg and the acceleration is 20m/s²
