Hi, I have a question if I calculate the average force that must be exerted on a 0.145 kg baseball for me to give it an acceleration of 130 m/s2. How would I get I get the acceleration would I divide 130

Newton’s Second Law: Force = mass times acceleration.

F = 0.145 * 130

You would multiply to find the force required, not divide. Hope this helps!
