Question

A footballer kicks a ball from rest. The foot is in contact with the ball for 0.30s and the final velocity of the ball is 15ms-1 .What is the average acceleration of the ball?​

Answer 1

50m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

initial velocity u= 0m/s since the ball is at rest

time of contact t= 0.3s

final velocity v=15m/s

Required

acceleration a

from the first law of motion

v=u+at

substitute our given data

15=0+a*0.3

15=0.3a

divide both sides by 0.3

a=15/0.3

a=50m/s

The average acceleration is 50m/s^2
