Question

What is the acceleration of a ball with a mass of 0.40 kg is hit with a force of 16N?

Answer 1

Explanation:

f=ma

16=0.4×a

a=40 m/second square

Answer 2

Given,

Mass of the ball = 0.40 kg

Force applied = 16 N

To find,

The acceleration of the ball.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem, by using the following process.

Here, we have to use the mathematical relationship between mass,force and acceleration of a body. Which is :

Force = Mass × Acceleration

So,

16 = 0.40 × Acceleration [Putting the given values.]

Acceleration = 16/0.40

Acceleration = 40 m/s² [SI unit of acceleration is m/s²]

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the acceleration of the ball will be 40 m/s².
