Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem:

1. We are given the mass of the basketball (m = 1.5 kg) and the force applied (F = 60 N)

2. We want to find the acceleration of the basketball (a)

3. We use Newton's second law: F = ma

4. Rearranging to solve for acceleration, we get: a = F/m

5. Plugging in the given values: a = 60 N / 1.5 kg = 40 m/s2

Therefore, the acceleration of the basketball is 40 m/s2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

The force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration.

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Here,

Mass of basketball is 1.5 kg

Force is 60 N

Plugging the values in above formula,

$\rm Acceleration = \frac {Force}{Mass}$

$\rm a = (60)/(1.5)$

$\rm a = 40 \: m/ {s}^(2)$

So the acceleration of the basketball is 40 m/s^2
