Question

1.)what is the acceleration of a ball with a mass of 0.40 kg is hit with a force of 16N

​

Answer 1

a = 40 [m/s^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces acting on a body must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

m = mass = 0.4 [kg]

F = force = 16 [N]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Now replacing we have:

16 = 0.4*a

a = 40 [m/s^2]
