Question

A 0.7kg ball Is thrown and accelerated by 62 m/s. How much force is applied to it? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Given:

the mass of the ball is m=0.7 kg.

The acceleration in the ball is

`a=62\text{ m/s}^2`

Required: the force applied on the ball

Step-by-step explanation:

The force is given by

`F=ma`

here, F is force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

Plugging all the values in the above relation, we get:

`\begin{gathered} F=0.7\text{ kg}*62\text{ m/s}^2 \\ F=43.4\text{ N} \\ F\approx43\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the force on the ball is 43 N.
