Answer :
Mass of basketball = 0.60 kg
Magnitude of applied force = 10.8 N
We have to find acceleration of basketball
★ As per newton's second law of motion, force is measured as the product of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, F = m a
- F denotes force
- m denotes force
- a denotes acceleration
Force can be classified as positive and negative. A positive force represents repulsion and a negative force represents attraction.
Force is a polar vector quantity as it has a point of application.
It has both magnitude as well as direction.
SI unit : N
By substituting the values, we get
➝ F = m a
➝ 10.8 = 0.6 × a
➝ a = 10.8/0.6
➝ a = 18 m/s²
