Question

What is the acceleration of softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the catcher's glove with a force of 28 N?
56 m/s^2
14 m/s^2
0.018 m/s^2
28.5 m/s^2

Answer 1

Answer:

✯ Given :-

• Mass of a softball (m) = 0.5 kg
• Force (F) = 28 N

✯ To Find :-

• What is the acceleration of softball.

✯ Formula Used :-

By using the Newton's law of motion,

➙ F = ma

✪ a = $\dfrac{F}{m}$ ✪

✯ Solution :-

⋆ Given :-

• F = 28 N
• m = 0.5 kg

➣ According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒a = $\dfrac{28}{0.5}$

➠ a = 56 m/s²

$\therefore$ The acceleration of softball is 56 m/s². (Option no 1)
