Question

Calculating Acceleration

A football player kicks a 0.94 kg football with a force of 2.4 N.

Calculate the acceleration of the football as the player kicks the ball. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a m/s2.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

`a = (force)/(mass ) = (2.4)/(0.94) = 2.5 \frac{m}{ {s}^(2) }`

Answer 2

Answer: 2.6 m/s²

Explanation: acceleration = f/m

Force = 2.4 N

Mass = 0.94 kg

Acceleration = ?

Acceleration = 2.4 N/0.94 kg = 2.5531914894 (or 2.6).

How to round it: round to the nearest tenth of a m/s²; look at the tenth place, which is 2.(5), it's greater than 5, so you wanna change it into a 6.

Hope this helped.

Have a good day. :)
