Answer to Question #171870 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for Nema

Question

A soccer ball of mass 0.50 kg, initially at rest, is kicked by a force of magnitude 1200 N that lasts for 15 milliseconds. 

What is the velocity of the ball after the kick? 

Answer 1

$$F\Delta t=m\Delta v,$$ $$F\Delta t=m(v_f-v_i)=mv_f,$$ $$v_f=\dfrac{F\Delta t}{m}=\dfrac{1200\ N\cdot15\cdot10^{-3}\ s}{0.5\ kg}=36\ \dfrac{m}{s}.$$
