Answer:

2 N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it's given that

Mass m = 0.2 kg

Acceleration a = 10 m/s^2

The force a soccer goalie experience when stopping a ball will be equal to the force at which the ball is being kicked. This is

F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

F = 0.2 × 10

F = 2 Newton.
